Tether is set to issue its stablecoin USDT natively on the Bitcoin network through the RGB protocol, with UTEXO spearheading the commercial deployment. This initiative integrates the Bitcoin UTXO model with the Lightning Network, enabling users to send and receive USDT directly via Bitcoin addresses. The approach aims to enhance privacy, lower transfer and exchange costs, and reduce dependency on intermediaries. The launch is anticipated within the coming weeks, potentially by July.
