Tether supports LayerZero following $70B USDT0 cross-chain transfers
Tether has invested in LayerZero Labs after piloting the company’s technology through the omnichain version of its USDT stablecoin, known as USDT0.
According to Tether, the world’s largest stablecoin issuer made the investment to support cross-chain interoperability infrastructure.
LayerZero’s interoperability protocol was used to launch USDT0, an omnichain version of USDT that allows the world’s most widely used U.S. dollar-pegged token to expand to blockchains where it was not originally issued.
Investment diversification
As reported by The Block, USDT0 tokens are issued using LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard and maintain a 1:1 peg with USDT. Since its launch in early 2025, USDT0 has facilitated more than $70 billion in cross-chain transfers.
“LayerZero has developed interoperability technology that enables real-time transfer of digital assets across any transport layer and distributed ledger, providing fundamental utility to the financial industry,” said Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino.
The size of Tether’s investment in LayerZero Labs was not disclosed. However, the stablecoin issuer believes that the LayerZero protocol will enable AI agents to “manage their own autonomous wallets and seamlessly transact with stablecoins and digital assets at scale.”
