Promote with Leviathan NewsTether said it would stop minting USDT on the EOS and Algorand blockchains and would continue supporting redemptions on those networks for 12 months. The company framed the move as part of a strategic shift toward prioritizing blockchain ecosystems with stronger community demand and more sustainable long-term support. The decision matters because USDT is the largest stablecoin by market use, so changes to issuance and redemption support can affect liquidity and operational access on specific chains. EOS and Algorand were among the earlier networks supported by Tether, but the company has been rebalancing support toward higher-usage or more actively developed blockchains, and later said it would wind down support for several legacy networks including EOS and Algorand as part of a broader infrastructure review.
