Tether (USDT) To Go Live on Bitcoin Blockchain

Tether (USDT), the company behind the world’s leading stablecoin USDT, has announced that it will soon launch on the RGB protocol. According to the announcement, this will allow Tether to operate directly on the Bitcoin blockchain. This is an important step for decentralized finance, as Bitcoin is renowned for being a highly secure and decentralized network.

USDT Launch on RGB Comes With Lots of Benefits

By utilizing RGB, a smart contract system built on Bitcoin, Tether will enable users to issue and transfer assets privately and easily. 

This allows USDT to exist directly on Bitcoin, giving users more control and privacy over their finances. With this new feature, users can also hold and transfer USDT in the same wallet as their Bitcoin. 

Interestingly, integrating USDT through RGB offers several important benefits. RGB enables private transactions by validating data on the user’s device, ensuring that the information is not shared publicly. Furthermore, users can send and receive value even without internet access. As such, helping communities in areas with limited connectivity. 

Importantly, users will have full control over their assets and transactions, with no middlemen involved. RGB can help users handle transactions at once without slowing down the Bitcoin network.

Additionally, Tether expansion reflects its goal of offering fast, efficient, and decentralized access to stablecoins for billions of people worldwide. It also highlights that Bitcoin is not just digital gold; it is a strong platform for programmable money and new financial tools.

Tether USDT0 Goes Live on Rootstock

In July, USDT0, a cross-chain version of the popular stablecoin USDT, was launched on Rootstock, a Layer 2 network built on top of the Bitcoin network. 

As reported by BitcoinLinux, this new launch enables users to transfer stablecoins easily between blockchains. At the same time, it aims to enhance the utilization of digital money in Bitcoin-based DeFi applications.

With USDT0 now available on Rootstock, people use stablecoins directly in apps built on the Bitcoin blockchain. 

This is important because Rootstock allows developers to create applications similar to those on Ethereum (ETH). Notably, this is happening as more people show interest in using the Bitcoin network for more than just holding the digital currency.

Tether Power Payments in Over 150 Countries

As more individuals worldwide look for stable digital assets, Tether remains a top choice. USDT is now used in over 150 countries. In many regions, the digital currency is used for everyday spending and sending money across borders.

Tether’s Q2 2025 report shows that its assets are still greater than its liabilities and that all of its reserves are fully backed. The company also holds investments in sectors like the entertainment industry, artificial intelligence, agriculture, and clean energy. It is also worth noting that these are separate from the reserves that support USDT.
