#Tether conquista Washington
USA₮, the first digital dollar of "Federal Grade" under the GENIUS Act
The metamorphosis of Tether in the U.S.
In a historic move that redefines digital monetary sovereignty, Tether has officially launched USA₮, a stablecoin designed exclusively for the U.S. market. Unlike its global counterpart (USD₮), this new asset is born under strict compliance with the GENIUS Act and is backed by a federal banking license.
"Banking Level" Regulation: USA₮ is issued by Anchorage Digital Bank, NA, the only crypto bank with national charters in the U.S. This grants it unprecedented regulatory legitimacy for a Tether product, operating under direct federal oversight.
Political and Strategic Leadership: The new entity is led by Bo Hines, former director of the White House Cryptocurrency Council, ensuring a direct line with regulators and governance aligned with Washington's interests.
Elite Custody: Cantor Fitzgerald (a key firm on Wall Street) will act as the custodian of the reserves and primary distributor, ensuring that each USA₮ is backed by secure and auditable assets from day one.
Tether's Dual Path: The company maintains its dual structure; while USD₮ will continue to be the global reserve currency in international markets, USA₮ becomes the standard for financial institutions, banks, and exchange platforms within the United States.
Tether is no longer just an external issuer; with USA₮ and its status as the 17th largest holder of U.S. Treasury bonds, the company consolidates itself as an executing arm of dollar dominance in the digital economy, making it nearly impossible for regulators to ignore its macroeconomic weight.
