Tether to Launch USD₮ on RGB, Expanding Native Bitcoin Stablecoin Support

For years, the promise of stable digital currencies has been intertwined with the foundational security of Bitcoin. Yet, the question lingered: could a stablecoin truly live natively on Bitcoin, inheriting its unparalleled robustness and decentralization without compromise? Today, we are taking a monumental leap towards answering that question definitively.

Tether is set to launch USD₮ on RGB, a groundbreaking protocol designed to elevate Bitcoin beyond merely a store of value. This isn't just another integration; it's a fundamental shift, allowing USD₮ to operate as a truly native asset on the world’s most secure blockchain. This evolution means we are ushering in an era where the stability of USD₮ meets the impenetrable security of Bitcoin, offering a new paradigm for digital finance.

Unlocking Native Power on Bitcoin with RGB

The RGB protocol, now mature with its 0.11.1 mainnet release, is a game-changer. It enables the private, scalable, and user-controlled issuance of digital assets directly on Bitcoin. For you, this translates into USD₮ transactions that are faster, more private, and incredibly lightweight, reaching billions globally with unprecedented efficiency.

Imagine the profound implications: your stablecoin transactions are now underpinned by Bitcoin’s robust security, eliminating intermediaries and reducing reliance on external layers. This move solidifies our vision of Bitcoin as not just the original cryptocurrency, but the very bedrock for everyday global money.

Direct Benefits for Your Financial Freedom

This integration brings practical, tangible advantages directly to your digital wallet:

Streamlined Asset Management

You will soon be able to hold and transfer USD₮ right alongside your Bitcoin within the same wallet. This simplifies your digital asset management, making the process intuitive and cohesive.

Enhanced Privacy and Sovereignty

Transactions will benefit from RGB's design, offering a new level of privacy and sovereignty. This empowers you with greater control over your financial interactions, fostering a truly peer-to-peer experience.

Future-Proofed Transactions

Beyond immediate benefits, the RGB integration lays the groundwork for advanced capabilities, including the potential to send and receive value even offline. This pushes the boundaries of what’s possible for digital currencies, ensuring your assets remain accessible and functional in diverse scenarios.

A Vision for a Freer Financial Future

Paolo Ardoino, our CEO, encapsulates this vision perfectly: “Bitcoin deserves a stablecoin that feels truly native, lightweight, private, and scalable. With RGB, USD₮ gains a powerful new pathway on Bitcoin, reinforcing our belief in Bitcoin as the foundation of a freer financial future.”

This isn't merely a technological upgrade; it's a testament to our unwavering commitment to innovation and expanding the reach of stablecoins. By anchoring USD₮ directly to Bitcoin, we are not just providing a service; we are building a more resilient, accessible, and equitable financial future for everyone.
