I’ve been around this industry long enough to know that when it gets too loud an easy way to cut through the noise is to dive into numbers. -@LayerZero_Core did $10B in the last month. -@USDT0_to moved close to $6B of that across our partner chains. -We’re nearing $100B in total volume, 15 months in. The dollar got upgraded. That’s a win for everyone building on top of our USDT0 rails.

Our second largest destination in the network launched with USDT0 and watched $27B flow in. Plasma has been outstanding. Big congrats @pauliepunt and team.
USDT0@USDT0_to

Over $27B has flowed into @Plasma via USDT0 since launch, making it the second largest destination chain in the entire network after Ethereum. A chain that didn't exist two years ago. Now, redefining how money moves at scale and powering a new global financial system.

@Zdeadex @Stable Stable is one of our partner chains. We are aligned on the USDT0 roadmap and @stable is putting our product front and center of their ecosystem.

When we talked to @sandeepnailwal and @0xAishwary about USDT and how we can bring it to its final form, they quickly aligned with us that @0xPolygon is the perfect platform for this. Knowing the power of their community and tech, we knew this will be a big win for the industry. And the numbers reflect exactly this. The largest number of active USDT0 senders can be found there. More than 6,000,000 to be exact. Big congrats to everyone !
USDT0@USDT0_to

Polygon ended 2025 with the largest number of active USDT0 senders: 6M+ Those senders are moving money around the world, in seconds, for cents with no bank hours, wire fees, or wait times. Dollars in their final form, on @0xPolygon.

The original digital asset now has a self-custodied path to the world's oldest store of value. With BOB Gateway by @build_on_bob, Bitcoin holders can now gain exposure to gold in a single transaction. BTC to XAUt0. No centralized intermediaries. Powered by the USDT0 Network.

We tried to find the simplest way to go from bitcoin to gold and bring it to our users. I think @build_on_bob Gateway does a proper job here. Jump from Bitcoin to Gold. That’s it. Pretty simple.

.@USDT0_to has been a leader in how they utilize @LayerZero_Core from the moment they launched. They continue to set an incredible standard for how to build and operate and are closing in on 1M transfers & $100B transferred. Incredibly grateful to have them as partners

At @USDT0_to, we build with the specific intention of ensuring there is no single point of failure. Security is at the core of every single architectural and procedural decision we make along the way. For example: Since launching last year, we’ve run a proprietary DVN with veto capability over every message, custom invariant checks built specifically for our infra, and pinned code libraries so that no external party can ever modify the code the system runs on. Every chain deployment gets its own independent risk assessment. Every multisig transaction passes through internal and external review before a signer even sees it. We turn down chains, delay launches, and trade user experience for stronger security when instances require a trade-off. During the KelpDAO incident, USDT0 remained secure with no impact on system integrity and has processed over $4 billion in volume since. Our proprietary DVN performed exactly as it was built to. We used the moment to raise the bar further, adding Canary as a third independent verifier, moving our DVN setup from 2-of-2 to 3-of-3. Exit confirmation times were also extended to guarantee finality before cross-network settlement. In the coming months we are moving to 4-of-4 and then 5-of-5 as additional qualified candidates clear our validation process. More details in our recent overview of USDT0's security architecture: blog.usdt0.to/security-is-th…

Been sitting with this Marcus Aurelius line tonight: “The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.” @PrimordialAA, @ryanzarick and the rest of the team have been pushing our industry forward. They’ve been great innovators and incredible partners. Every team building on @LayerZero_Core is hardening in the same fire. We at @USDT0_to know what no single point of failure actually looks like, in production: -Proprietary DVN with veto over every message, since launch -Pinned libraries: no external party can modify the code we run -Custom invariant checks built for our infra -Independent risk assessment per chain -Internal + external review on every multisig tx before a signer sees it -2-of-2 → 3-of-3 post-Kelp. 4-of-4, then 5-of-5 next. -$4B processed since the incident. Zero impact on integrity. The fire tests gold. @LayerZero_Core hands you the tools. The configuration is the product.

People talk about PMF as if it’s some elusive thing. Turns out, all you have to do is solve actual problems. For us, that meant finding ways to make @tether 1% better. People already trusted the asset. They just needed better infrastructure to move it. Now 70% of daily bridge activity comes from returning users, supply has turned over 22x and USDT0 has moved more than $88B in just over a year.

This is incorrect. USDT0 has never run 1-of-1 DVN set. We had a 2-of-2 DVN setup and upgraded to 3-of-3. USDT0 messages on LayerZero Scan show three RequiredDVNs: Canary, LayerZero Labs, and USDT0. All three must sign for a transfer to verify. One check at the source would have caught this.

@coingecko This is false. USDT0 runs a 3 of 3 DVN setup: Canary, LayerZero Labs, and USDT0. Previously 2-of-2. All three must sign for any message to verify. Easily confirmed on LayerZero Scan.

USDT0 transfers have resumed. Our infra continues to operate as designed with no impact to system integrity or exposure to risk. All in-flight transactions submitted prior to the pause have now been safely settled.
USDT0@USDT0_to

As a precautionary measure, we have temporarily paused the USDT0 OFT bridging infrastructure while the rsETH incident is being investigated. We want to be clear that USDT0 has no exposure, and all USDT0 tokens remain fully backed 1:1 by USDT. We'll share updates as more information becomes available.

It’s just so clear to me. When an ecosystem like @solana chooses to switch to a superior stablecoin, naturally you’ll see a migration towards the better solution but more importantly, new money starts flowing in. Less friction, more certainty by having a pro-active and supportive partner and defi will start booming again. Stablecoin dominance becomes a secondary stat. Total new inflows is the interesting metric to watch out for. we keep moving up and to the right 💪

This takes me back to early conversations with @paoloardoino when he let us know that @tether was going to market in the US in a meaningful way. We don’t take bets lightly but ours is that the world is moving onchain (chains plural, to be specific) and so the most important work now is to make sure money works everywhere it needs to go. One year and $ 70B+ dollars later, and we’re just getting started.
USDT0@USDT0_to

$70+ billion in volume over the course of the last year. This is how @BoHines, CEO of @USAT introduces USDT0. Enabling the world's most trusted dollar to move seamlessly across every network.
