Tether launches wallet for USDT Bitcoin and gold

Tether has launched a self-custodial digital wallet supporting USDT, Bitcoin and gold-backed tokens, aiming to simplify crypto transactions for its global user base.

The new Tether.Wallet supports USDT, USAT and XAUT across multiple networks including Ethereum, Polygon and Arbitrum, alongside Bitcoin on both mainnet and Lightning.

“With more than 570 million people already using Tether’s technology, the next step is making that digital infrastructure even more accessible,”

Said Paolo Ardoino.

The wallet allows users to send funds using human-readable identifiers instead of complex addresses, with fees paid directly in the asset being transferred.

Built on Tether’s Wallet Development Kit, the platform aims to remove barriers to adoption while maintaining user control through self-custody.

The launch marks Tether’s expansion into end-user infrastructure, positioning it to compete with wallets like MetaMask and Phantom.

With USDT’s market value near $185 billion, the move signals a push toward mainstream adoption of stablecoins and digital asset payments.

At the time of reporting, Bitcoin price was $74,676.55.
