Tether, one of the world's largest stablecoin issuers, launched a new stablecoin named USDT0 in January 2025

USDT0 will facilitate interoperability and seamless USDT transfer across different blockchains

USDT0 is initially launched on Kraken's Layer-2 network, Ink and will be expanding the stablecoin to other blockchains, including Berachain and MegaETH

The existing methods for moving USDT between different blockchains rely on various bridges, which are susceptible to different vulnerabilities

USDT0 aims to eliminate the need for multiple bridges by creating a "unified liquidity layer" that enables seamless cross-chain transfers

Tether's USDT0 locks Ethereum-based USDT in a secure contract and issues USDT0 tokens on other blockchains, enabling users to move their assets easily without relying on different bridging services
