Tether launches crypto wallet for stablecoins, gold and Bitcoin
Tether has announced the launch of tether.wallet, its own self-custodial crypto wallet that gives users direct access to its financial infrastructure. While Tether previously operated as a foundational layer for liquidity and settlements, it is now entering the end-user space for the first time.
According to the company, more than 570 million people worldwide already use Tether’s technology. The main goal of the new product is to simplify access to digital assets, especially for users in developing countries where traditional financial services remain limited. The wallet allows users to send funds using simple identifiers such as nicknames instead of long wallet addresses.
Supported assets
The tether.wallet supports key assets from the ecosystem: USDT and USAT stablecoins, tokenized gold XAUT, as well as Bitcoin. At launch, it supports networks including Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, and others, as well as the Lightning Network for BTC. Users do not need to hold separate tokens to pay transaction fees — they are deducted directly from the transferred asset.
The wallet is fully self-custodial: private keys and seed phrases are stored only by the user, and all transactions are signed locally on the device. Tether emphasizes that this aligns with its core principle of giving users full control over their funds without intermediaries.
CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that the launch of tether.wallet is the next step in the evolution of the ecosystem, aiming to make digital assets as easy to use as sending a message. In the future, Tether plans to expand blockchain support and turn the wallet into a universal tool not only for people but also for AI agents.
Stablecoins become a new market standard
Tether remains the undisputed leader in the stablecoin market. USDT ranks first in terms of capitalization and liquidity and has become a key tool for payments, trading, and transfers — especially in countries with high inflation and limited access to banking services.
Meanwhile, the stablecoin market is entering a new growth phase. Major financial and technology companies are активно entering this segment or preparing to launch their own solutions. Visa and Mastercard are among those planning stablecoin initiatives. Banks such as JPMorgan and Société Générale, as well as fintech companies, are also exploring their own projects.
Earlier this year, Tether also entered into a partnership with Rumble.
