OKX Integrates Tether's USDT0 to Enhance Stablecoin Liquidity

OKX Introduces USDT0 to Expand Stablecoin Horizons

USDT0 is not just another bridged token—it’s a composability upgrade for the world’s largest stablecoin.

• What is USDT0?
  • A native OFT (Omnichain Fungible Token) version of USDT, issued by Tether
  • Built on LayerZero’s composable messaging protocol
  • Designed for instant, trust-minimized transfers across chains
• Where It’s Live:
  • OKX Exchange (deposit/withdrawal)
  • OKX Wallet
  • X Layer (OKX’s Ethereum Layer 2 chain)
• Goal:
  • Eliminate liquidity silos
  • Reduce bridging fees and delays
  • Provide unified USDT liquidity across OKX’s CeFi and DeFi ecosystems

This is Tether’s most significant infrastructure upgrade since USDT’s multi-chain expansion.

Strategic Integration Connects Centralized and DeFi Markets

This collaboration bridges two financial worlds.

• For CeFi Users (OKX):
  • Deposit USDT to X Layer in seconds for DeFi use
  • Earn yield, trade, or stake without complex bridging
• For DeFi Developers:
  • Access millions of dollars in stablecoin liquidity from OKX users
  • Build dApps on X Layer with confidence in deep USDT pools
• Executive Insight:

Star Xu (OKX):

“This will connect centralized and decentralized finance seamlessly.”

Lorenzo R. (Tether):

“With USDT0 live on OKX and X Layer, millions of users and developers can tap into unified and cross-chain liquidity on a large scale.”

The integration transforms OKX from an exchange into a full-stack Web3 gateway.

LayerZero Tech Elevates Multi-Chain Stablecoin Adoption

USDT0 leverages cutting-edge omnichain tech.

• LayerZero’s OFT Standard:
  • Enables interoperable tokens that maintain the same contract address and logic across chains
  • Reduces reliance on third-party bridges (and their risks)
  • Already powers stUSDT, axlUSDC, and DAI across 40+ chains
• Why It Matters:
  • No more “USDT.e” or “bridged USDT” confusion
  • Lower slippage and fees
  • Stronger security model (relying on oracles and relayers, not custodians)

This mirrors the USDC and DAI multi-chain expansion, but with superior technical architecture.

Final Takeaway: A Unified Stablecoin Future Begins Now

• ✅ USDT0 live on OKX and X Layer
• ✅ Powered by LayerZero — secure, composable, instant
• ✅ Bridges CeFi and DeFi liquidity
• ✅ Sets new standard for multi-chain stablecoins

With $110B+ in USDT supply, even a small shift to USDT0 could reshape liquidity flows across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, and beyond.

And in 2025,

the winning stablecoins won’t just move between chains—
they’ll live on all of them at once.
