Catenaa, Tuesday, April 22, 2025-Tether, the issuer of the world’s largest stablecoin, announced Tuesday it has invested in Fizen Limited, a fintech firm focused on digital payments and self-custody crypto wallets, to expand the reach of stablecoin transactions in everyday commerce.
The investment, disclosed in a company blog post, supports Fizen’s efforts to integrate stablecoins like USDT into consumer and business payments.
Fizen’s platform enables users to pay with stablecoins while merchants receive fiat instantly, using tools such as QR codes and card readers—removing the need for complex infrastructure or conversions.
Tether said the partnership aligns with its mission to improve financial inclusion and efficiency, particularly for unbanked populations.
The World Bank’s Global Findex Report notes that millions globally remain without access to traditional banking due to distance and documentation barriers.
Tether added that its capital will enhance Fizen’s blockchain capabilities, allowing seamless integration across multiple blockchain ecosystems and reducing entry barriers for users unfamiliar with crypto technology.
Fizen CEO Leo Vu said the company is focused on creating user-friendly payment experiences.
