Tether and Laos-based exchange Bitqik have launched a joint initiative to promote education around bitcoin and stablecoins. The program aims to reach more than 10,000 people across Laos through events and online learning in 2026.
Crypto Education in Laos Gets a Boost Through Tether and Bitqik Partnership
Tether has partnered with Bitqik, a licensed digital asset exchange in Laos, to roll out a nationwide financial literacy initiative focused on bitcoin and stablecoins. The collaboration is aimed at expanding understanding of digital assets and encouraging responsible adoption across the country.
Bitqik says its mission to promote decentralized finance ( DeFi) and economic innovation aligns closely with Tether’s broader goal of improving access to digital financial tools.
Under the initiative, Bitqik will lead education efforts centered on USDT, and the role stablecoins can play in financial inclusion. The program is designed to build trust in stablecoins, increase awareness of practical use cases, and position USDT for wider adoption within Laos’ growing digital economy.
The education campaign will include a mix of online content and in-person events. Bitqik plans to develop digital learning materials for students and host quarterly seminars and roadshows in major cities. These sessions will focus on real-world applications of stablecoins and blockchain technology. It will also give participants hands-on insight into how digital assets can be used for payments, savings, and business activity.
The initiative aims to reach more than 10,000 people through seminars, community events, and online education throughout 2026.
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said, “Financial inclusion is not only achieved by access but by having a clear understanding. By expanding access to education and combining real-world use cases for stablecoins, we are helping to build a more resilient, inclusive, and opportunity-driven financial future.”
