Tether to Launch New US Stablecoin Amid Regulatory Shift

Tether, the company behind the world’s most traded cryptocurrency USDT, has announced plans to launch a new fully regulated US-based stablecoin called USAT by the end of this year.

The move comes after landmark legislation passed by Congress in July, introducing strict rules for stablecoin issuers. Under these rules, stablecoins must be backed 1:1 by highly rated assets like US Treasuries, with mandatory monthly reserve reports and annual audits.

Unlike USDT—which is partly backed by assets such as Bitcoin and gold—USAT will comply fully with US regulations and be pegged to the dollar. The project will be managed by Anchorage Digital, a federally regulated crypto bank, with reserves overseen by Cantor Fitzgerald.

Tether says USAT is designed to strengthen the US dollar’s dominance in the digital era, while also expanding into emerging markets using USDT’s existing infrastructure. White House officials hope stablecoins like USAT will also provide a steady source of demand for US Treasuries, easing concerns over the country’s mounting fiscal deficit.

With nearly $169 billion worth of USDT already in circulation and almost 500 million users, Tether has become a global crypto powerhouse. The launch of USAT signals not just a new product, but a strategic shift to align with Washington’s push for regulated digital finance.
