at bridge, we made stablecoins more accessible. but our impact was constrained by issuers' economics and incentives.
The world needs better money. we hope to remove these constraints. > 引用 @openstandard: Businesses using stablecoins should have a stake in their future. Open Standard makes that possible. https://x.com/zcabrams/status/2103180224972406830
## @theiotafeed (Iota Feed) · 09-24 15:36 · ♥41 ↻12 💬0 💵 USDT0 has quietly gone live on IOTA. What it is and what it could mean for IOTA.
📅 USDT0 has been live on IOTA mainnet since 17 September. We have yet to find an official statement from either USDT0 or the IOTA Foundation. The launch shows up in USDT0's own docs and in on-chain data on the Tangle.
🔎 What is USDT0? ▫️ A version of Tether's USDT stablecoin that moves across chains via LayerZero ▫️ For every USDT0, one USDT is locked on Ethereum. When USDT0 is sent back to Ethereum, it is burned and the locked USDT is released ▫️ The USDT0 website is run by Everdawn Labs. The underlying USDT is issued by Tether
🧭 What's different on IOTA ▫️ It runs on IOTA mainnet itself, not on IOTA EVM ▫️ IOTA has its own dedicated route: the backing USDT sits in a separate Ethereum vault used only for IOTA ▫️ USDT0 on IOTA can only move to Ethereum and back. To reach any other chain, it has to go via Ethereum first ▫️ Each transfer has to be confirmed by three verifiers: LayerZero Labs, USDT0 itself and Canary
📊 The numbers on the Tangle (24 Sept) ▫️ 1.27 USDT0 in circulation, backed by 1.27 USDT in the IOTA vault on Ethereum ▫️ Ten transfers between Ethereum and IOTA so far, all tiny amounts of at most 1 USDT from just three addresses. The most recent was on 20 September ▫️ On 23 September, a perpetual futures exchange created a vault to accept USDT0 as collateral. Nothing has been deposited yet
🚢 What the IOTA Foundation plans with stablecoins ▫️ In December 2025 it announced that a "leading stablecoin" would soon come natively to IOTA mainnet as a cornerstone for trade, finance and supply chains. It didn't say which one, and it has not confirmed that it is USDT0 ▫️ ADAPT is a digital trade initiative led by the African Continental Free Trade Area Secretariat, with IOTA as a founding partner. For ADAPT, the IOTA Foundation explicitly mentions payments with "stablecoins such as USDT" for faster, cheaper cross-border settlement ▫️ Once fully implemented, ADAPT could cut cross-border payment fees from 6–9% to under 3%, according to the IOTA Foundation ▫️ Kenya, Morocco and Nigeria, the first ADAPT countries, are set to test regulatory frameworks for digital currencies, including stablecoins ▫️ For Salus, a trade finance platform for critical minerals, the IOTA Foundation outlines how a smart contract could automatically release a partial payment to the supplier once goods pass inspection ▫️ To be clear: these are plans and examples. We don't know of any live stablecoin payments in these projects yet
🧰 What IOTA brings to the table ▫️ Sponsored transactions: an app can cover the fees, so users can pay in USDT0 without holding any IOTA themselves ▫️ Programmable transactions: up to 1,024 commands that either all succeed or all fail. That makes it possible, for example, to settle a payment and transfer a trade document held as a token on the Tangle in one operation ▫️ Add to that IOTA Identity for verifiable digital identities and IOTA Notarization for tamper-proof records showing that a document existed at a given time and hasn't changed since
💡 What it means ▫️ Technically, the groundwork is done: USDT0 can be used directly on IOTA mainnet and is backed 1:1 by USDT. Whether USDT itself is fully backed is a separate question, and one for Tether ▫️ With USDT0, trade documents, proofs and payment can sit on the same network, the precondition for the kind of flow the IOTA Foundation describes for Salus ▫️ Adoption hasn't started yet: no wallet or exchange we know of has announced support, and the USDT0 website doesn't list IOTA as a supported network yet
🧩 Bottom line: the road is built, but almost no one is using it yet. In our view, the potential lies less in speculation than in trade: settling payments where the trade documents can live too. The real test is whether actual trade starts running on IOTA. The IOTA Foundation has promised "major announcements" this quarter without saying what about. The quarter ends on 30 September.
