Backing Interoperability Infrastructure
Tether made a strategic investment in LayerZero Labs, the company behind cross-chain infrastructure used in USDT0.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
USDT0 and Cross-Chain Transfers
LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token standard powers USDT0, an onchain representation of USDT that allows the stablecoin to move across multiple blockchains while maintaining 1:1 backing.
Since launching in early 2025, USDT0 has facilitated more than $70 billion in cross-chain transfers.
AI and Autonomous Finance Vision
Tether said interoperability will support future use cases where AI agents manage wallets and transact autonomously with stablecoins.
The investment adds to Tether’s growing portfolio, which includes stakes in infrastructure, settlement platforms, and gold-backed assets.
