Tether has launched tether.wallet, a self custodial wallet that puts the company direct in front of users for the first time and opens access to Bitcoin, stablecoins, and tokenized gold in one place.
Good to Know
Tether built its name as the infrastructure layer behind much of the digital asset economy. Now it is pushing that network straight to end users with tether.wallet, a product aimed at simpler crypto payments, storage, and transfers.
The wallet lets users hold and send USD₮, USA₮, XAU₮, and Bitcoin across several networks. Tether also says users can pay transaction fees in the asset they are sending, cutting out one of the biggest pain points in crypto wallets. Instead of typing long wallet strings, users can send funds through a human readable identifier such as name@tether.me.
Tether says the app keeps users in control. Private keys and recovery phrases stay with the user, and the wallet signs transactions locally on the device before broadcasting them.
Tether also tied the launch to its wider scale. The company said its technology now serves more than 570 million people globally and keeps adding tens of millions of wallets each quarter.
“Tether has achieved, without any doubts, the widest financial inclusion success story in the history of humanity,” said Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether. “With more than 570 million people already using Tether’s technology, the next step is making that digital infrastructure even more accessible and usable by the end users. The objective is to remove the complexity that has prevented broader adoption while preserving the properties that make the digital assets technology valuable. Users should be able to send value as easily as sending a message, without relying on intermediaries and without giving up control of their assets. tether.wallet is “the People’s Wallet” because it truly reflects the natural evolution of Tether’s role, from building the foundation of the digital asset economy to making it directly usable by anyone, ready for a future in which tens of billions of humans, machines, and trillions of AI agents will transact seamlessly at the speed of light.”
tether.wallet runs on Tether open source Wallet Development Kit. At launch, it supports USD₮ on Ethereum, Polygon, Plasma, and Arbitrum, XAU₮ on Ethereum, Polygon, Plasma, and Arbitrum, USA₮ on Ethereum, and Bitcoin both on chain and on Lightning. Tether said it will add more blockchains later.
