USDT0 Goes Live on Stellar With Ramp as Launch Partner
USDT0, the interoperability layer carrying USA₮ and broader USDT liquidity across chains, is now live on Stellar, unlocking more than $180B in USDT liquidity on the payment-focused network — confirmed by Stellar itself on March 26. The same digital dollar that already settles across 20+ chains now works on one of the longest-running payment networks, built for global payments and financial access.
- Ramp Network joins as a day-one launch partner, letting users buy, sell, and swap USDT0 in-app right away.
- Stellar handles instant transfers across 180+ countries for under a tenth of a cent per transaction, so 10,000 transactions cost less than a single wire transfer.
- The deployment connects one of the largest stablecoin liquidity pools to one of the most widely used payment blockchains. Confirmation from USDT0
