Tether Backs T-0 Network to Expand USD₮ Use in Institutional Payments

Published at 2026-02-06 19:45:48

Tether said on Feb. 6, 2026 that it has made a strategic investment in the T-0 network to drive USD₮ integration with institutional payment rails. The partnership aims to route the stablecoin into bank and enterprise payment infrastructure, enabling faster settlement and native liquidity for corporate treasury and payment flows.

For institutions and payment providers, deeper USD₮ connectivity could reduce counterparty risk and compress settlement times by supporting near-instant value transfer across existing rails. The move underscores Tether’s push beyond exchange liquidity into real-world payments, a step that could boost on-ramps and stablecoin utility while attracting closer regulatory and market attention as stablecoins enter core financial plumbing.
