Tether is launching its US-compliant stablecoin, USAT, on the Celo network, its first expansion beyond Ethereum. The move leverages Celo's large stablecoin user base and a feature that allows users to pay transaction fees directly with USAT.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Crypto & Web3. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

◆ The Wire takeaway

The race for regulated stablecoin distribution is on, and it's happening on payment-first blockchains, not just Ethereum. Celo now offers you US-compliant dollar rails where your customers don't need a separate token for transaction fees.
