Portuguesa Tether launched a peoples wallet: bitcoin and stablecoins for billions
Tether reaches the end user: launching a public wallet with bitcoin and stablecoins
Company Tether, the issuer of the largest stablecoin USDT, has made a strategic move from an infrastructure provider to direct interaction with the retail audience: a non-custodial wallet has been launched tether.wallet, combining support for stablecoins (USDT, USAT, XAUT) and bitcoin in a single interface.
This is not just another crypto wallet, it's a manifesto of Tether's new role in the ecosystem: from a pipeline for crypto markets to a platform for financial inclusion for billions of users.
🔑 Architecture: multichain with a focus on convenience
The wallet is built on the basis of an open source framework WDK, presented in October 2025, and supports multiple blockchains:
🔹 USDT and XAUT: Ethereum, Polygon, Plasma, Arbitrum - maximum flexibility for users;
🔹 USAT: exclusively on Ethereum - a specialized tool for tokenized treasury assets;
🔹 Bitcoin: through Lightning Network - instant micro payments with minimal fees.
