Tether has announced a strategic investment in LayerZero Labs to bolster cross-chain digital asset infrastructure. This move aims to enhance the interoperability of USDt0, a stablecoin that has processed over $70 billion in cross-chain transfers within a year. LayerZero's technology allows USDt0 to operate as a single asset across multiple blockchains without liquidity fragmentation. The investment aligns with Tether's Wallet Development Kit (WDK), which, combined with LayerZero's infrastructure, supports payments, settlement, and custody workflows. This collaboration also facilitates agentic finance, enabling AI-driven autonomous transactions. Tether's CEO, Paolo Ardoino, emphasized the utility of LayerZero's technology in real-time asset transfers, while LayerZero's CEO, Bryan Pellegrino, highlighted the validation of their technology through USDt0's success. Financial terms of the investment were not disclosed.
