Tether said the new wallet is designed to let users hold and transfer digital assets while keeping control of their private keys. The company stated that all transactions are signed locally on the user\u2019s device, rather than through a central custodian. It added that private keys and recovery phrases remain under user control.<\/p>\n

The launch places Tether closer to the consumer side of crypto payments. Until now, most USDT activity<\/a> has taken place through exchanges, trading platforms, and other third-party services. With tether.wallet, the company is now offering its own branded app for direct asset management and payments.<\/p>\n

Tether said the wallet supports a limited set of assets because it is focused on digital dollars, Bitcoin , and tokenized gold<\/a>. At launch, the app supports USDT and XAUT on Ethereum, Polygon, Plasma, and Arbitrum. USAT is initially available on Ethereum, while Bitcoin\u00a0 can be used both on-chain and through the Lightning Network.<\/p>\n

The company also linked the wallet to its broader effort to expand blockchain-based payments. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said, \u201cWith more than 570 million people already using Tether\u2019s technology, the next step is making that digital infrastructure more accessible and usable for end users.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tether said the new wallet is designed to let users hold and transfer digital assets while keeping control…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":544892,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[46580,187688,187685,187687,2306,187686,86,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-544891","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-bitcoin-price","9":"tag-blockchain-payments","10":"tag-crypto-news-today","11":"tag-crypto-payments","12":"tag-mobile","13":"tag-self-custodial-wallet","14":"tag-technology","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom","17":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/544891","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=544891"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/544891\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/544892"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=544891"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=544891"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=544891"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
