Solana first integrated Tether’s USDT back in 2020. Today, we’re taking the next step in that journey.

Native USDT deployments are now live on Solana via USDT0’s Legacy Mesh, connecting users with nearly $170B in USDT liquidity across multiple chains. On top of that, we’re thrilled to announce that XAUt0, the omnichain deployment of Tether Gold (XAUt) is also available on Solana.

Together, these assets greatly expand access to omnichain dollar and gold-backed liquidity on one of the most efficient, fastest growing blockchains in the world!

Over the years, Solana has rapidly become one of the most important chains for onchain finance and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. The total stablecoin supply on Solana recently surpassed $15B, with USDT playing a dominant role in daily volume across the chain’s multiple exchanges, lending platforms, and other DeFi protocols.

With low fees, sub-second finality and a thriving developer environment, Solana offers the performance and community needed to support high-volume financial applications at scale. A second validator client for Solana is also currently under development and expected to go live this year, further increasing blockspace availability and accelerating Solana’s growing ecosystem of RWA and DeFi projects.

As of today, Solana is fully integrated with the Legacy Mesh, a LayerZero-powered interoperability network that links native USDT deployments across major chains like Ethereum, Tron, and Ton. This interconnected liquidity layer spans nearly 500M estimated users and $170B in USDT liquidity, and is key to unifying some of the world’s most battle-tested chains with new, emergent ecosystems.

In other words. Solana’s Legacy Mesh integration brings the chain’s existing USDT liquidity into this broader omnichain ecosystem, enabling seamless transfers without relying on third-party bridges or token wrappers. This unlocks faster settlement, stronger security guarantees, and a more intuitive, composable user experience across a growing array of dApps and chains.

In addition to the Legacy Mesh, XAUt0 is now live on Solana, marking the arrival of Tether Gold’s omnichain deployment on one of the fastest-growing ecosystems in crypto.

XAUt0 enhances Solana’s growing reputation as a destination for real-world assets, giving builders and users a new tool for value preservation, inflation hedging, and programmable asset-backed finance. With the price of gold bullion at all-time highs and growing interest in physically backed, inflation-resistant assets, XAUt0 offers a powerful new way to tap the world’s most trusted store of value.

Solana has long been home to high-performance DeFi. With the Legacy Mesh and XAUt0 entering the fold, the chain has further improved its ability to support high-volume, real-world financial flows.

Together, these assets unlock new possibilities for value creation and wealth preservation on Solana, while enhancing existing protocols and onchain activities. Whether users are looking to leverage new DeFi opportunities or manage corporate treasuries, Solana is now even better equipped to make it happen.

As the third largest native USDT deployment, we are excited and honoured to add them to the unified liquidity network for USDT.
