OKX has partnered with Tether to introduce USDT0, a unified liquidity network for Tether’s USDT, across its Ethereum layer-2 X Layer, OKX Wallet, and the OKX exchange.
Key Highlights
- USDT0 is now available across X Layer, Wallet, and Exchange for over 80 million users
- Users can easily deposit, withdraw, and tap into deeper cross-chain liquidity
- LayerZero OFT enables 1:1 USDT-backed transfers without the need for bridges
On September 9, OKX confirmed that the integration of USDT0 provides its users with streamlined and flexible stablecoin liquidity. Customers can now deposit and withdraw USDT0 through the wallet or exchange and enjoy enhanced liquidity across multiple networks, including Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Berachain, Unichain, and others.
Built on LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard, every USDT0 transfer is fully verifiable and backed 1:1 by canonical USDT.
This technology ensures faster settlement, smoother cross-rollup transfers, and seamless liquidity movement between OKX’s centralized exchange and decentralized platforms—eliminating the need for bridges or wrapped tokens.
As part of its multichain approach, X Layer is fully integrated across OKX’s platform, compatible with Ethereum tooling, and optimized for low fees and high throughput. Since its launch, USDT0 has handled over $11.3 billion in cross-chain transactions across nine chains and more than 251,000 transfers, making it one of the most active OFTs in the LayerZero ecosystem.
Developed with support from Everdawn Labs—the team behind XAUt0 and contributors to Alloy by Tether—USDT0 continues to expand. However, some of its products are not available in Europe.
