Tether has announced plans to launch a new US-specific, fully compliant stablecoin by late 2025, aligning with the regulatory standards set by the recently enacted GENIUS Act. The move marks Tether’s formal entry into the regulated U.S. stablecoin market while continuing to offer its flagship USDT globally, particularly in emerging markets.
The upcoming stablecoin will be backed by verifiable reserves and subject to regular audits, as required under the GENIUS Act—legislation aimed at enhancing consumer protection, financial transparency, and market stability. The new asset will operate alongside USDT, with a focus on facilitating cross-border payments and providing a transparent, legally sanctioned digital dollar alternative.
Tether’s strategic push into the U.S. market underscores its commitment to regulatory compliance and competitiveness. By offering a fully compliant stablecoin, the company aims to increase trust in digital assets, support institutional adoption, and expand options for U.S. consumers and businesses seeking stable, blockchain-based financial tools.
The initiative is expected to foster innovation and healthy competition among stablecoin issuers while promoting the broader adoption of compliant crypto infrastructure in the United States.
