Tether Integrates USDT on RGB Protocol for Native Bitcoin Support

Tether, the issuer behind the world’s largest stablecoin USDT, has officially integrated the RGB protocol, bringing USDT directly onto the Bitcoin blockchain. This move marks a significant leap in Bitcoin-native asset capabilities.

With the release of RGB v0.11.1 on mainnet, the protocol now allows digital asset issuance in a private, scalable, and user-controlled manner. Through this integration, USDT can be transferred with greater privacy, without intermediaries, and even offline—benefiting millions globally.

Users will now be able to:

• Manage Bitcoin and USDT in one wallet

• Send private transactions

• Retain full control over their assets

• Execute transfers even without internet access

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino emphasized:

“Bitcoin deserves a stablecoin that is native, lightweight, private, and scalable. RGB gives USDT that potential and aligns perfectly with our mission to support a freer financial world.”

This development represents a turning point for Bitcoin's role in DeFi and stablecoin adoption, signaling a step toward greater financial sovereignty and privacy for users.
