ROAD TOWN, British Virgin Islands, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — USDT0, the infrastructure that brings the most widely used stablecoin Tether (USDT) to every network, is now live on Stellar, the world’s most accessible network. This deployment connects one of the longest-running networks for real-world payments and cross-border finance directly into USDT0’s growing borderless liquidity. As a result, Stellar now has access to a unified dollar asset, enabling stablecoin movement across networks without fragmentation, wrappers, or third-party bridges.
“Stellar has already proven its value as payments infrastructure,” said Lorenzo Romagnoli, Co-Founder of USDT0. “USDT0 extends that utility by connecting Stellar to Tether’s global dollar liquidity and making it available wherever users and capital need to move. That opens up a much bigger future for builders on Stellar: payment firms, fintechs, and treasury teams can serve global markets without rebuilding dollar liquidity network by network. Stellar becomes a stronger base for financial products designed to serve many different use cases and ecosystems.”
Since launching in January 2025, the USDT0 Network has facilitated over $100 billion in total value moved across 29 connected blockchain ecosystems, reflecting sustained, production-scale usage of its unified liquidity model. Against that backdrop, Stellar was designed to move real value across borders. The network prioritizes predictable settlement, minimal fees, and support for issued assets, characteristics that have translated into years of real-world activity across payments, aid distribution, and consumer financial services.
“Stellar has been trusted to power cross-border payments for more than a decade and the addition of USDT0 to the Stellar ecosystem strengthens the network’s industry-leading payments stack,” said Denelle Dixon, CEO & Executive Director of the Stellar Development Foundation. “Together, the Stellar network and USDT0 are leading the way toward a global financial system where trillions will move onchain.”
Built on LayerZero’s OFT Standard, USDT0 does not introduce another bridged or wrapped representation. Instead, the deployment anchors USDT0 directly within Stellar’s asset model while connecting it to the same unified liquidity framework used across other major ecosystems. USDT0 on Stellar is now available on BiLira Kripto, Bitget Wallet, Fireblocks, Freighter, Kraken, Kredete, Lobstr, Meru, Ramp Network, and SushiSwap, with additional partners such as Exodus expected to go live shortly.
For the Stellar ecosystem, this means:
- Unified liquidity: Access to the same global USDT liquidity layer shared across multiple chains.
- Seamless cross-chain movement: Stablecoin balances can move into and out of Stellar without custodial bridges or isolated pools.
- Simpler integrations for builders: Payment flows, DeFi applications, and treasury systems can be built around a single, consistent USDT asset.
In addition to introducing the world’s most widely used stablecoin to Stellar, USDT0 advances how liquidity behaves across the ecosystem, making cross-chain movement a feature aligned with the network’s focus on interoperability and practical onchain finance.
For more than a decade, Stellar has demonstrated that blockchains can support real financial activity at global scale, processing more than $40B so far in 2026. The integration connects Stellar’s purpose-built design with the next phase of stablecoin infrastructure, combining unified liquidity with proven execution to support what stablecoins are becoming.
