Catenaa, Saturday, September 13, 202- OKX has partnered with Tether to integrate USDT0, the world’s largest stablecoin, onto X Layer, OKX’s Ethereum Layer 2 network, as well as its wallet and exchange platforms.
The integration allows users to deposit and withdraw USDT0 seamlessly across multiple chains, including Arbitrum, Optimism, Unichain, Polygon, and Berachain, creating unified, composable liquidity for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.
The stablecoin leverages LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard, ensuring 1:1 backing by canonical USDT and enabling verifiable, frictionless transfers between rollups and centralized-decentralized platforms.
X Layer, OKX’s Ethereum Layer 2 network, acts as a foundation for interoperable value exchange, connecting developers and users to broader Ethereum ecosystems while providing faster settlements and enhanced liquidity.
USDT0 has already processed over $11.3 billion in cross-chain bridge volume within a year, establishing itself as the most active OFT in the LayerZero ecosystem.
OKX’s expansion positions the platform as a full-stack multichain infrastructure provider, facilitating mainstream adoption of stablecoins while bridging traditional and decentralized financial systems.
The move follows Tether’s broader strategy to deploy USDT across next-generation networks, including plans to issue the stablecoin on Bitcoin’s RGB protocol for private, scalable, and user-controlled digital asset issuance.
