On September 9, 2025, leading cryptocurrency platform and blockchain technology company OKX announced a partnership with the digital asset industry giant Tether to integrate the globally most widely used stablecoin Tether (USDT) into OKX's Ethereum Layer 2 network X Layer and OKX wallet and trading platform.

Through the launch and integration of USDT0, users can now directly deposit and withdraw USDT0 through the OKX wallet and trading platform, enabling them to access unified and composable liquidity in various DeFi ecosystems.

Users can also access deeper stablecoin liquidity in networks supported by USDT0 on OKX, including networks such as Arbitrum, Optimism, Unichain, Polygon, and Berachain.

USDT0 is based on the LayerZero Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard, where each USDT0 transaction is verifiable and fully backed 1:1 by native USDT. The integration of USDT0 has enabled faster settlement, seamless transfers between different Rollup networks, and allows users to directly transfer liquidity between OKX's centralized exchange and decentralized market without relying on cross-chain bridges or wrapped tokens.

X Layer is designed for low-cost, high-speed transactions and has been fully integrated into OKX's product ecosystem, connecting users and developers to a broader Ethereum ecosystem while providing a simple, secure user experience on the OKX platform. As the infrastructure of the OKX Web3 world, X Layer has been incorporated into products trusted by millions of users. Its high-performance architecture brings low fees and high throughput; its compatibility with Ethereum makes it an ideal choice for developers and users.

OKX has integrated USDT0 on X Layer and multiple chains, further expanding the accessibility of this trusted stablecoin and solidifying its position as a full-stack multi-chain infrastructure provider, accelerating the widespread adoption of stablecoins. Within less than a year since its launch, the cross-chain bridging volume of USDT0 has exceeded $11.3 billion, with over 251,000 cross-chain transfers completed. Currently, USDT0 supports 9 cross-chain paths and has become the most active OFT asset in the LayerZero ecosystem.

“Stablecoins are becoming the cornerstone of on-chain finance. With the launch of USDT0 on OKX and X Layer, millions of users and developers can now access unified cross-chain liquidity at scale.” USDT0 co-founder Lorenzo R. stated, “This expansion is not just about adding more chains; it's about eliminating friction in the stablecoin's development process, allowing USDT to be ‘plug-and-play’ in the scenarios where developers and users need it the most.”

“X Layer is ‘The New Money Chain,’ laying the foundation for seamless, robust, and interoperable value exchange.” OKX founder and CEO Star Xu said, “Through collaboration with Tether, bringing USDT0 to X Layer and other chains on the OKX platform, we are providing users with stable full-chain liquidity across their most commonly used networks. This bridges centralized and decentralized finance as never before, with unprecedented speed, convenience, and intuitiveness.”
