Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino confirmed that USDT will not be launched on its own proprietary blockchain but will continue to operate across multiple third-party blockchains like Tron and Ethereum, maintaining broad distribution rather than controlling the rails.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Crypto & Web3, and 1 source has reported it.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must adapt to USDT's multi-chain model, as Tether favours broad distribution over owning blockchains. That means your crypto strategy needs to prioritise integration with existing networks rather than counting on a new stablecoin rail from Tether.
