OKX collaborates with Tether to launch USDT0 on X Layer and OKX platforms

OKX collaborates with Tether to launch USDT0 on X Layer and OKX platforms, offering users a unified liquidity experience across popular chains such as Arbitrum, Optimism, Unichain, Polygon, and Berachain. With this roll‑out, deposit and withdrawal of the bridged stablecoin are now seamless on the OKX Wallet and Exchange, eliminating manual cross‑chain swaps.

USDT0 is engineered using LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) format, guaranteeing that every move is verifiable and that the token remains fully backed 1:1 with canonical USDT. To date, the bridge has processed more than $11 billion in volume over 251,000 transactions across nine distinct cross‑chain routes.

As Lorenzo R., co‑founder of USDT0, explained, the collaboration “unlocks scalable, cross‑chain liquidity, bridging fragmentation and empowering millions of users and builders to tap into a single, reliable stablecoin.”

“Stablecoins are becoming the backbone of on‑chain finance. With USDT0 live on OKX and X Layer, millions of users and builders can tap into unified, cross‑chain liquidity at scale,” the co‑founder added.

Star Xu, founder of OKX, highlighted that integrating USDT0 is a strategic move to position X Layer as a foundational network for interoperable value exchange. “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 and bridging centralized and decentralized finance faster, easier, and more intuitively than ever before,” Xu remarked.

X Layer, launched by OKX last April, was designed to slash transaction costs and enhance scalability. It supports a suite of decentralized applications and uses OKB tokens for gas fees. The recent surge in OKB’s price followed a comprehensive tokenomics overhaul that included burning over 65 million tokens, reinforcing X Layer’s capabilities in DeFi and beyond.
