Tether to Cease USDT Issuance on Five Blockchains by September 2025
- Tether will stop issuing USDT on Omni Layer, Bitcoin Cash SLP, Kusama, EOS, and Algorand starting September 1, 2025.
- The company will not freeze smart contracts on these blockchains, allowing wallet-to-wallet transfers to continue.
- This decision is part of Tether’s strategy to focus on ecosystems with high developer activity and sustainable demand.
- Tether recently launched USDT on the RGB protocol, enhancing stablecoin availability alongside Bitcoin.
This transition reflects Tether’s commitment to investing in more dynamic blockchain ecosystems while maintaining engagement with community feedback. The choice to continue wallet transfers without freezing contracts aims to ensure a smooth transition for users affected by the changes.
With the end of USDT issuance on five blockchains set for September, Tether is strategically redirecting resources towards scalable platforms that demonstrate robust user demand and developer activity.(Source)
