Tether, the largest stablecoin issuer in the cryptocurrency industry, has announced an important step in enhancing its services by introducing USDT support on the Bitcoin network through the RGB protocol.
USDT Support on the Bitcoin Network
Tether officially announced that it will be implementing USDT support on the Bitcoin network. This will allow users to make local USDT transfers directly to Bitcoin wallets.
