Exactly one year ago, USDT0 launched to solve a very specific problem. The world’s most widely used stablecoin was fragmented across different liquidity sources, and we wanted to take Tether assets omnichain. Our goal was not expansion for its own sake, but usability at scale.

The past year has validated our approach. USDT0 is now the world’s largest and fastest growing cross-chain liquidity network. This is a clear signal that what we're building is resonating with builders and users across multiple sectors and onchain ecosystems. 

Let’s take a quick look at what we’ve accomplished together, and where USDT0 is headed next.

Over the past twelve months, USDT0 has grown into the fastest-scaling cross-chain liquidity network in the stablecoin market. In its first year, the network has processed over $63 billion in total value moved, with ~$7.8 billion transferred in the past 30 days alone.

Today, USDT0 connects 18 major blockchain ecosystems, including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Solana, Tron, TON, Sei, Mantle, Monad, Hyperliquid, Plasma, Rootstock, and others. It is now the most active omnichain token on LayerZero, and a growing share of USDT cross-chain flows are moving through USDT0 rather than fragmented bridge paths.

This growth did not come from pursuing surface-level integrations. It came from working closely with each ecosystem to understand how USDT is actually used inside their networks and then evolving USDT0 to fit those realities.

A critical part of USDT0’s first year has been expanding how canonical USDT reaches new and existing ecosystems. Beyond enabling movement between chains, USDT0 has increasingly become the preferred onramp for deep, reliable dollar liquidity as new networks come online and existing ones scale.

This shift changes how ecosystems bootstrap and grow. Rather than adapting applications to fragmented stablecoin infrastructure, ecosystems can design around a single, consistent dollar asset that scales with usage. This has unlocked more efficient capital mobility and seamless user experiences across USDT0’s partner ecosystems.

While USDT remains the backbone of onchain liquidity, global finance does not operate in dollars alone. Over the past year, USDT0 has begun extending its unified liquidity framework to other systemically important assets, starting with gold and offshore yuan settlement.

By making gold liquid, composable, and transferable across chains, XAUt0 allows protocols and users to incorporate physical collateral into modern financial workflows without sacrificing speed or interoperability. CNHt0 builds on that foundation by bringing yuan-denominated settlement into the same omnichain model, enabling CNH-based activity to move and integrate across onchain environments with the same consistency and efficiency.

Together, XAUt0 and CNHt0 demonstrate that omnichain liquidity is evolving into a multi-asset financial layer capable of supporting a more globally representative and interoperable onchain economy.

USDT0’s first year was about proving that unified liquidity works at scale, and our second year will focus on deepening that foundation.

This means in 2026 USDT0 will prioritize:

• Increasing USDT0 issuance on existing chains

• Driving higher volumes into and out of integrated ecosystems

• Strengthening throughput and liquidity depth where USDT0 is already live

• Selectively expanding to new networks where USDT usage is already established

This is a move from horizontal expansion to vertical integration. Less about how many chains are connected, and more about how effectively capital flows through the ones that matter most.

For partners, this means deeper liquidity, more predictable settlement, and tighter integration with real economic activity. For users, it means USDT that behaves the same way everywhere, at higher volumes, with fewer operational edges.

Stablecoins won because they are useful. USDT remains dominant because it moves where global demand already exists. And USDT0 exists to make that liquidity work everywhere, without fragmentation or friction.

We’re one year in, and the path forward is clear. Strengthen the ecosystems that already rely on USDT, expand issuance where usage is real, and extend the same unified model to new assets and settlement currencies. USDT0 is not building a parallel financial system. It is refining the one onchain finance already runs on.
