#Tether just backed #LayerZero

@Tether USDT made a strategic investment into LayerZero Labs, the team behind the interoperability tech used for USDT0.

@LayerZero_Core’s protocol powers USDT0, the omnichain version of USDT that lets the stablecoin move onto chains where it isn’t natively issued. USDT0 stays 1:1 backed with $USDT and has already handled $70B+ in cross-chain transfers since launching earlier this year.

Tether says this is about betting on interoperability, especially as stablecoins start being used by things like AI agents and automated systems that need to move value across chains without friction.
