💵 If Tether created a regulated stablecoin for the USA, why not get rid of USDT?

With the launch of USAT (USA₮), many people are asking:

👉 "If there is now a stablecoin compliant with American laws, why keep USDT?"

The answer is simple, purely strategic.

Tether does not maintain 2 currencies for redundancy, but because they serve different financial systems.

🔹 USDT is global

It was built outside the regulatory system of the USA and has become the liquidity base of the global crypto market: international exchanges, DeFi, emerging markets, and countries that do not operate under American rules.

🔹 USAT is domestic (USA)

It is already regulated, designed for institutions, banks, and American users, within the legal framework of the USA. It is a "regulation-first" product.

The issuer of USAT is not Tether directly, but rather Anchorage Digital Bank (a nationally regulated bank in the USA), meaning the product is born with "bank compliance" and "regulatory stamp" from day 1.

📌 Serving the American market does NOT mean serving the entire world.

U.S. regulation is not a global standard, and imposing this model on USDT would destroy liquidity, international adoption, and Tether's greatest asset: the network effect.

❌ Ending USDT:

• would limit global use

• would distance DeFi

• would open space for competitors

• would break the trust of millions of users

Moreover, the capital of USDT does not belong to Tether; it belongs to the users. There is no "forced migration" without systemic impact.

🧠 Conclusion:

USDT is not a problem to be fixed.

USAT is not a global substitute.

They coexist because:

• one ensures global dominance

• the other ensures institutional survival in the USA

💬 Is the market moving towards jurisdiction-segmented stablecoins???

The question now is: is this necessary evolution… or the beginning of the fragmentation of global liquidity?
