- Stablecoin firm Tether is set to launch USDT on RBG, a protocol built on Bitcoin‘s Proof of Work Consensus layer.
- The new integration on RGB will allow the native existence of stablecoins on Bitcoin while enhancing the speed, privacy, and volume of payments processed.
- It is also expected to enhance security and allow the custody and transfer of Bitcoin and USD₮ from the same wallet.
The world’s largest stablecoin issuer, Tether, has revealed its plans to integrate its stablecoin USD₮ on RGB, a revolutionary framework built for transacting in digital assets on the Bitcoin network. Tether’s intended debut on RGB aims to improve the security, speed, volume, and compatibility of stablecoins with Bitcoin, thus expanding utility and innovation.
RGB Launch Will Unlock Native Existence Of Stablecoins on Bitcoin Network
Launching USD₮ on RGB is s next-generation move that aims to expand Bitcoin’s use from just the store of wealth it has been for almost three decades to a revolutionary system of utility packed with state-of-the-art value. Based on Tether’s estimation, the integration will enhance the privacy and scalability of assets and transactions on the premier network.
Similarly, Tether looks to bolster “user-controlled issuance” of crypto assets on the Bitcoin network. With these layers of value and utility, Tether looks to achieve the native existence if stablecoins on Bitcoin, breaking one of the cons of the network relative to others.
“For Tether, this means USD₮ can be transacted directly on the world’s most secure and decentralized network, bringing fast, private, and lightweight payments to billions of people globally,” said Tether.
RBG launched its version 0.11.1 on Bitcoin in July 2025 to facilitate the issuance and management of virtual assets like stablecoins, tokens, and NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) on the Bitcoin and Lightning networks.
Unlike Bitcoin, Lightning, and Ethereum, RGB is not a network. It is a group of protocols that allows users to execute complicated smart contracts via scalable and private channels. It is a framework that enables its users to evaluate, run, and verify smart contracts by themselves with no extra fees, since it does not use a typical blockchain system.
Tether To Consolidate Bitcoin’s Place As the Basis for Free Finance
The ability for users to manage and transfer USD₮ and Bitcoin via the same wallet will no doubt transform the general outlook and adoption of the Bitcoin network. While Bitcoin contributes its security, Tether brings its stability, resulting in a hybrid integration, promising privacy and sovereignty of transactions, while offering offline transaction capabilities.
According to Tether’s CEO Paolo Ardoino, “Bitcoin deserves a stablecoin that feels truly native, lightweight, private, and scalable.” Ardoino stated that the RGB deployment will enable USD₮ to gain a “powerful new pathway on Bitcoin, reinforcing our belief in Bitcoin as the foundation of a freer financial future.”
Tether has been on a consistent run to advance its utility and reach in 2025, while optimizing its service delivery to over 350 million customers globally. This August, the firm also announced its plans to launch a domestic US stablecoin and has been having strategic meetings with potential partners.
