USDT0 is now live on Stellar

The world’s most widely used stablecoin just found a new home. USDT0, the infrastructure that brings Tether’s USDT to every network, is now live on the Stellar network, marking a significant milestone for one of the longest-running blockchains built for real-world payments and cross-border finance.

Beyond another asset listing, it’s a structural upgrade to liquidity on Stellar.

Whether you are making cross-border payments, settling accounts, or powering an app on Stellar, USDT0 gives institutions and individuals the ability to move value onchain with immediate access to billions of dollars of liquidity. Built on LayerZero’s OFT interoperability standard, USDT0 maintains a single unified supply backed 1:1 by USDT. From day one, Stellar participants tap into the same global liquidity pool shared across LayerZero-connected blockchain ecosystems—no isolated pools, no wrapped tokens, no third-party tooling required. See it in action: move USDT0 to and from any supported chain in a few clicks.

With USDT0 now available on Stellar, DeFi protocols can build around an asset with more than $180 billion in market capitalization. USDT0 can be used as collateral, borrowed against, traded, and put to work across yield opportunities. That creates more ways for existing USDT holders to put their capital to work on Stellar, expanding the potential pool of participants and capital to include markets where USDT is already a primary settlement asset. USDT0 on Stellar is available on SushiSwap with more DeFi integrations to come.

USDT has a global footprint, and is used widely in emergent, fast-growth markets across Latin America, Africa, and Asia-Pacific—the very regions where Stellar has spent years building payments infrastructure. With USDT0 now on Stellar, users in these regions can now move the stablecoin they already trust on infrastructure purpose-built for it—sub-cent fees, five-second transaction finality, and on/off-ramp coverage across 170+ countries. This combination of asset and network is a natural fit for the way people in emerging markets actually use stablecoins.

For exchanges, fintechs, enterprises and payment service providers already operating on Stellar, USDT0 extends what they can offer. Adding USDT0 requires minimal lift for anyone already running on Stellar rails—and for partners whose counterparties prefer USDT, it removes the swap costs and operational friction that come with other assets. The result is simpler treasury management, cleaner payment flows, and one less conversion standing between you and your end users. For exchanges, that means offering USDT0 deposits, transfers and withdrawals on rails that settle in seconds for fractions of a cent. For wallets and fintechs, it means giving users in USDT-dominant markets across Latin America, Africa, and Asia a way to send, receive, and hold the asset they already prefer, while enterprises and PSPs can settle with counterparties in USDT0 and manage USDC, EURC, and USDT0 in a single treasury integration on one network.

USDT0’s arrival on Stellar sends a clear message to the broader ecosystem. Institutions, fintechs, and developers evaluating which networks to build on now have another compelling reason to choose Stellar: access to the most liquid stablecoin in the world, on a network with a decade of proven reliability in global payments.

The infrastructure is ready. The liquidity is live. The next chapter for Stellar starts now.
