USDT0: Laying the Groundwork for Tether on Plasma
February 19th, 2025

USDT0 is the stablecoin infrastructure powering Tether’s ecosystem on Plasma. It drives USDT adoption to one of the most Tether focused networks ever built.

Once Plasma is live, USDT0 will benefit from zero-fee transfers, making it the first USDT0 integration to enable completely costless on-chain payments. This feature unlocks a new user experience, seamless, frictionless transactions and positions USDT0 as the most efficient stablecoin solution for payments and DeFi..

“With strong growth in both supply and users, we are entering a new phase of mainstream adoption for stablecoins. To meet this challenge, it’s more important than ever to have secure, decentralized, and scalable infrastructure in place. Plasma is designed to provide these essential rails by leveraging Bitcoin as its security layer.” — Paolo Ardoino, CTO at Bitfinex

Most importantly, USDT0 unlocks instant access to the world’s largest stablecoin, USDT, by seamlessly connecting Plasma with Tether’s $141B ecosystem. Plasma will benefit from the recently released Legacy Mesh, USDT0’s cross-chain liquidity layer that connects native USDT deployments on Ethereum, Tron and TON with USDT0 powered chains, further expanding seamless stablecoin interoperability. Additionally, Plasma settles transactions directly on Bitcoin marking this deployment as the first announced integration within the Bitcoin ecosystem.

“Partnering with USDT0 represents a key milestone in our journey. This collaboration not only strengthens our infrastructure but also reinforces our commitment to delivering secure, scalable, and efficient stablecoin payments to our users, together with the world’s largest stablecoin USDT. We could not be more excited about working with the USDT0 team on furthering real stablecoin adoption globally.” - Paul Faecks, CEO of Plasma.

This marks the next step in real USDT adoption: fast, interoperable, and frictionless.

Plasma launches soon. USDT0 leads from day one.
