Tether (USDT) Collaborates with Vietnam Blockchain Association to Boost Blockchain and AI Education

Tether
Operations
Limited,
the
prominent
entity
in
the
digital
asset
industry,
has
announced
a
strategic
partnership
with
the
Vietnam
Blockchain
Association
(VBA)
aimed
at
advancing
blockchain
and
artificial
intelligence
(AI)
education
in
Vietnam.
This
initiative,
revealed
on
July
9,
2024,
focuses
on
educating
public
stakeholders
through
a
series
of
conferences
and
workshops,
according
to

Tether.io.

Objectives
of
the
Collaboration

The
collaboration
aims
to
foster
knowledge-sharing
and
capacity-building
within
the
blockchain
industry.
Based
in
Ho
Chi
Minh
City,
the
VBA
is
instrumental
in
standardizing
and
promoting
blockchain
technology
in
Vietnam.
The
association
is
known
for
its
educational
events
nationwide,
which
play
a
crucial
role
in
advocating
for
blockchain
education.

Vietnam’s
Growing
Crypto
Landscape

In
2023,
Vietnam
ranked
as
the
third-largest
cryptocurrency
gainer
globally,
following
the
U.S.
and
the
UK,
with
nearly
$1.18
billion
in
gains.
Approximately
17%
of
the
Vietnamese
population
owns
or
has
cryptocurrencies,
highlighting
the
nation’s
significant
engagement
with
digital
assets.
This
widespread
adoption
is
partly
due
to
the
use
of
crypto
for
accessing
otherwise
inaccessible
banking
services.

Key
Initiatives
and
Programs

One
of
the
major
initiatives
under
this
collaboration
involves
hosting
five
educational
conferences
in
key
cities
such
as
Hanoi,
Da
Nang,
and
Ho
Chi
Minh
City.
These
events
aim
to
educate
communities
about
the
potential
of
digital
finance.

Additionally,
Tether
will
support
the
VBA’s
UniTour
Program
by
developing
educational
content
with
the
Academy
of
Blockchain
and
AI
Innovation
(ABAII).
UniTour
is
a
program
designed
for
university
and
college
students
across
Vietnam,
aiming
to
ignite
their
passion
for
AI
and
blockchain
technologies.
Tether
will
also
back
VBA’s
SwitchUp
Accelerator
program,
offering
guidance,
support,
and
potential
investments
for
Web3
projects
and
startups.
