Big update in the crypto world! 🌍
Tether is launching a brand-new stablecoin just for the U.S. market, called USAT — aimed at Americans and built under strict regulatory rules.
The new U.S.-specific coin will be issued by Anchorage Digital Bank, with custody and reserves managed by Cantor Fitzgerald — giving it a fully regulated, dollar-backed backing structure.
To lead this effort, Tether has appointed Bo Hines (ex-White House crypto advisor) as CEO of the USAT project.
USAT is scheduled to go live by December 2025. The goal? Serve U.S. users and institutions who prefer a fully regulated stablecoin — especially under the new U.S. stablecoin law GENIUS Act.
But does this mean the end of USDT (the classic Tether stablecoin)? Not at all. Tether insists that USDT — which has a massive global user base and market cap — will remain active worldwide. It just won’t be the U.S.-regulated option.
In fact, Tether says this move is part of a broader push to comply with regulations — while still preserving USDT’s global reach. The expansion includes a plan to push USAT to up to 100 million Americans, leveraging partnerships and previously made investments.
So, to sum up: USAT = regulated stablecoin for U.S.; USDT = global stablecoin staying alive and active.
