Tezos USDT support on KuCoin is a huge step forward for the blockchain that can self-amend and use less energy.

In addition, businesses with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitments and looking to reduce their carbon footprints might choose Tezos. This trend is likely to continue in the coming years. Also, the push towards energy efficiency explains why Ethereum recently conducted “The Merge”, which marked the transition from Proof of Work (PoW) to Proof of Stake (PoS).
