Tether introduces crypto wallet to bring stablecoin and bitcoin payments directly to users

What Happened

Tether introduced tether.wallet on Tuesday, a self-custodial cryptocurrency wallet enabling users to hold and send USDT, USAT stablecoins, XAUT gold-backed token, and bitcoin across multiple blockchains. The app replaces wallet addresses with human-readable names like "[email protected]" and allows users to pay transaction fees in their sent asset. Users control private keys and sign transactions independently. This marks Tether's shift from intermediary to consumer-facing platform.
