USDT0, a Tether-backed stablecoin, launched on the Stellar blockchain on September 2, 2026, using LayerZero's interoperability standard to enable seamless cross-chain transfers and unified liquidity access. This launch connects Stellar to a broader USDT liquidity pool across more than 25 networks without fragmenting token supplies, supporting payments, trading, and decentralized finance.
