Tether Launches USD₮ on Bitcoin and Lightning via RGB Protocol
Tether has announced plans to issue its USD₮ stablecoin on the RGB protocol, leveraging Bitcoin and the Lightning Network. This integration aims to provide native, scalable, and private stablecoins on Bitcoin.
Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, stated, "With RGB, USD₮ gains a powerful new pathway on Bitcoin, reinforcing our belief in Bitcoin as the foundation of a freer financial future."
RGB utilizes client-side validation, keeping asset data off-chain and anchoring proofs to Bitcoin transactions. This ensures minimal chain bloat, preserves user privacy, and enables Lightning Network compatibility.
