Tether USDT is now available on Polygon, and the USDT stablecoin is now available on 11 other blockchain networks.
Tether USDT, the stablecoin issuer, has announced the introduction of tether tokens on the Polygon network, following the launch of a fiat-pegged token tied to the value of the Mexican peso. Following the addition of the stablecoin to the Avalanche and Kusama blockchain networks, Polygon has been integrated.
Tether USDT is now a part of the Polygon Blockchain Ecosystem.
- Tether (USDT), the world’s largest stablecoin by market capitalization, is now supported on the Polygon blockchain (formally called Matic). The market capitalization of USDT is $72.6 billion today, with $59.15 billion in stablecoin transaction volume out of $106.34 billion in worldwide trade volume on Friday.
- Tether USDT is supported by the Omni Layer network, Ethereum, Tron, EOS, Liquid, Algorand, Solana, Bitcoin Cash (SLP), Kusama, and Avalanche, in addition to Polygon. The company has also issued EURT in the amount of €195,998,829, CHNT in the amount of €20,503,468, and XAUT (tether gold) in the amount of 226,289 XAUT (tether gold).
- Tether USDT customers will benefit from the Polygon network’s layer two (L2) scaling solution, which is built on top of the Ethereum blockchain. Polygon features almost 19,000 decentralised applications (dapps), with MATIC, the network’s native currency, ranking 21st in terms of market capitalization.
