Tether, the world’s largest stablecoin issuer, has announced the launch of USD₮ on RGB, a next-generation protocol designed to bring digital assets directly onto the Bitcoin network. The move signals a major step forward for stablecoins by making them native to Bitcoin’s secure and decentralized ecosystem.

RGB, which recently went live on mainnet with its 0.11.1 release, enables private, scalable, and user-controlled issuance of assets. With this integration, USD₮ can now be transacted directly on Bitcoin, offering lightweight, private, and fast payments worldwide. Users will be able to manage USD₮ and Bitcoin in the same wallet, enjoy sovereign transactions, and even transfer value offline—expanding Bitcoin’s utility far beyond a store of value.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino emphasized the importance of this milestone, calling it a step toward “a freer financial future.” The launch highlights Tether’s continued leadership in digital assets while strengthening Bitcoin’s position as the foundation for global, everyday money.
