Gold giant hands out $10 on St. Patrick's Day

"St. Patrick's Day, celebrated every year on March 17, started as a religious holiday honoring Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. He is widely known for bringing Christianity to Ireland in the 5th century. Over time, though, the day has evolved into something much bigger. It is now a global celebration of Irish culture, complete with parades, music, food, and, of course, lots of green outfits."

"The city's St. Patrick's Day Parade dates all the way back to 1762, making it the oldest and largest parade of its kind in the world. Every year, more than 150,000 marchers take over the streets, passing landmarks like St. Patrick's Cathedral, while millions line the streets to watch."

"Tether's St. Patrick's day giveaway is not a simple handout of a ten-dollar bill. It is part of their broader digital activation designed to onboard users into the stablecoin ecosystem. Participants must scan a QR code distributed by street teams across Times Square and along the parade route. From there, users are prompted to download the Rumble Wallet, after which they can claim $10 in USAT directly to their phones."
