OKX Partners with Tether to Integrate USDT0 Across X Layer, OKX Wallet and Exchange

OKX, a leading cryptocurrency platform and onchain technology company, and Tether, the largest company in the digital assets industry, have partnered to integrate USDT0, the unified liquidity network for the world’s most widely used stablecoin Tether (USDT), onto X Layer, OKX’s Ethereum Layer 2 network and the OKX Wallet and Exchange. 

With this listing and integration, customers can now deposit and withdraw USDT0 directly through the OKX Wallet and Exchange, unlocking unified, composable liquidity across major DeFi ecosystems. 

Customers can now also access deeper stablecoin liquidity across USDT0 enabled networks on OKX,  including Arbitrum, Optimism, Unichain, Polygon, and Berachain and the other USDT0 enabled networks.

Powered by LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard, every USDT0 transfer is verifiable and backed 1:1 by canonical USDT. The integration of USDT0 enables faster settlement, seamless transfers between rollups, and the ability to move liquidity directly between OKX’s exchange and decentralized markets without the friction of bridges or wrapped tokens.  

Purpose-built for low-cost, high-speed transactions, X Layer is fully integrated into the OKX product suite and connects users and developers to Ethereum’s broader ecosystem while offering a streamlined, secure experience directly on OKX. Designed to be the foundation of OKX’s Web3 world, X Layer is fully integrated into the products that millions of users already trust. Its performant architecture delivers low fees and high throughput, while its Ethereum compatibility makes it ideal for builders and customers.

OKX’s integration of USDT0 on X Layer and other chains expands access to one of the most trusted stablecoins and strengthens its role as a full-stack multichain infrastructure provider, driving mainstream adoption of stablecoins. In less than a year, USDT0 has surpassed $11.3 billion in bridge volume across more than 251,000 cross-chain transfers, supporting nine chain pathways, making it the most active OFT in the LayerZero ecosystem.

“Stablecoins are becoming the backbone of onchain finance. With USDT0 live on OKX and X Layer, millions of users and builders can tap into unified, cross-chain liquidity at scale,” said Lorenzo R., Co-Founder of USDT0. “This expansion isn’t just about adding more chains, it’s about removing the friction that has held stablecoins back for too long and making USDT instantly usable wherever builders and customers need it most.”

“X Layer is The New Money Chain and a foundation for seamless, stable, and interoperable value exchange,” said OKX Founder and CEO Star Xu. “By partnering with Tether to bring USDT0 to X Layer and other chains across the OKX platform, we’re empowering our customers with stable omnichain liquidity across the networks they rely on most, while bridging centralized and decentralized finance faster, easier, and more intuitively than ever before.”
