Tether Brings USDT Stablecoin To The Bitcoin Blockchain

2025-08-28 09:00:20

(MENAFN- Yolo Wire) %Tether , the world's largest %Stablecoin issuer, has announced that its flagship token, (CRYPTO: $USDT), will now be available on the %Bitcoin (CRYPTO: $BTC) %Blockchain . This development marks a return to Bitcoin's roots for Tether, which was originally launched on the Omni Layer in 2014 before expanding across multiple blockchains including Ethereum, Tron, Solana, and Avalanche.

The move signals a renewed effort to leverage Bitcoin's security and decentralization while broadening USDT's accessibility. By integrating directly with Bitcoin through emerging Layer-2 solutions, Tether aims to provide users with faster, cheaper, and more secure transactions. The Bitcoin ecosystem has been experiencing a renaissance with the growth of Ordinals, BRC-20 tokens, and Lightning Network adoption. Tether's expansion onto Bitcoin aligns with this momentum, offering stable liquidity for developers and users engaging with Bitcoin-native applications.

According to Tether, deploying USDT on Bitcoin will allow businesses and individuals to settle transactions in a stable U.S. dollar–pegged asset without relying on more volatile cryptocurrencies. This could strengthen Bitcoin's role not only as a store of value but also as a practical settlement layer for digital commerce.

Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, highlighted the importance of Bitcoin in the company's long-term vision. "Bitcoin remains the most secure and decentralized blockchain. Bringing USDT to Bitcoin once again ensures that users can enjoy the benefits of stable digital dollars directly within the Bitcoin ecosystem," he said.

With over $100 billion USDT already in circulation across multiple chains, the addition of Bitcoin further cements Tether's dominance in the stablecoin market. Analysts suggest this could accelerate adoption of Bitcoin-based financial products and attract new liquidity to emerging Bitcoin Layer-2 networks.

As stablecoin competition intensifies, Tether's move reinforces Bitcoin's evolving utility while providing users with another bridge between traditional finance and the world's most established cryptocurrency.
