OKX Partners with Tether to Integrate USDT0
OKX has announced a partnership with Tether to integrate USDT0, a unified liquidity network for Tether’s USDT, across its Ethereum layer-2 X Layer, the OKX Wallet, and the OKX exchange. This integration is set to bring unified, composable stablecoin liquidity to OKX’s over 80 million customers.
Unified Liquidity Network
The rollout of USDT0 on OKX’s platforms enables customers to deposit and withdraw USDT0 through the wallet and exchange. Additionally, customers can access deeper stablecoin liquidity across USDT0-enabled networks on OKX, including Arbitrum, Optimism, Unichain, Polygon, Berachain, and other supported chains.
Powered by LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token Standard
USDT0 is powered by LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token standard, which ensures that each transfer is verifiable and backed 1:1 by canonical USDT. This design aims to speed up settlement, simplify cross-rollup movement, and allow users to move liquidity between OKX’s centralized venue and decentralized markets without relying on bridges or wrapped tokens.
Multichain Strategy
OKX stated that the integration of USDT0 is consistent with its multichain strategy around X Layer. The layer-2 is embedded across OKX’s product suite, is compatible with Ethereum tooling, and targets low fees and high throughput to support both users and builders.
The Backbone of On-Chain Finance
The companies noted that USDT0 has processed over $11.3 billion in bridge volume involving more than 251,000 cross-chain transfers and nine chain pathways in under a year. It was described as the most active OFT in the LayerZero ecosystem. “Stablecoins are becoming the backbone of on-chain finance. With USDT0 live on OKX and X Layer, millions of users and builders can tap into unified, cross-chain liquidity at scale,” said Lorenzo R., co-founder of USDT0.
Foundation for Seamless Value Exchange
OKX founder and CEO Star Xu said, “X Layer is The New Money Chain and a foundation for seamless, stable, and interoperable value exchange.” USDT0 is developed with support from Everdawn Labs, which also powers XAUt0 and contributed to Alloy by Tether.
