Industry Leaders Comment on USDT0's Impact
“Our focus has always been to make value movement feel invisible, fast, borderless, and effortless,” said Lorenzo R., Co-Founder of USDT0. “Cross-chain liquidity shouldn’t feel like a bridge transaction. Surpassing $50 billion in total value moved shows that unified liquidity is not just a concept, it’s live and operating at a global scale.”
“USDT0 represents the evolution of user-experience that the digital assets and payments industry needs to scale out and be truly embedded in the fabric of the world itself. USDT0 technology transforms stablecoins from a single-chain asset into a true monetary mesh infrastructure,” said Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether. “Tether was built to move value anywhere, and we are thrilled to witness USDT0 be part of this mission. As more people and institutions use stablecoins for payments, trade, store of value, and settlement, unified liquidity isn’t just a technical breakthrough - it’s the foundation for the world’s next generation of borderless finance."
"For the first time, the world’s most used currency is moving freely across all borders, both digital and physical," said Bryan Pellegrino, Co-Founder and CEO of LayerZero Labs. “USDT0 has made the dollar truly global, held and used directly by the people who need it most. It’s accelerating faster than anyone imagined, reaching $50B in under a year. Stablecoins are becoming the foundation of the open financial system being built right now, and it’s incredible to watch the transition to crypto-enabled money happen in real time."
“What started as a startup within the Tether ecosystem has grown into the largest stablecoin cross-chain settlement layer in the world,” said Kevin M., Co-Founder of USDT0. “In under a year, we processed over $50 billion in total volume, and $500 million–$1 billion days are now a regular occurrence. Our growth reflects the broader trajectory of stablecoins as they become the dominant rails for global payments and settlement. USDT0’s success highlights the strength of its infrastructure and its role in powering real, large-scale stablecoin settlement across chains.”
