Wormhole introduces native USDT transfers for 7 networks.

Wormhole has announced support for native USDT transfers across seven blockchains, allowing users and applications to move Tether’s stablecoin without relying on traditional wrapped-asset bridge designs. This rollout uses Wormhole’s Native Token Transfers (NTT) framework, which lets token issuers or integrators define a canonical multichain representation of an asset and handle supply via configurable “lock” or “burn-and-mint” modes across chains. By integrating USDT into this framework, Wormhole positions itself as an interoperability layer for one of the most widely used dollar-pegged stablecoins. The launch extends Wormhole’s broader strategy of enabling native stablecoin interoperability after its earlier work with Circle’s USDC via CCTP and with other ecosystems like Algorand through NTT. For users and DeFi protocols on the supported seven networks, native USDT transfers through Wormhole can reduce reliance on fragmented wrapped versions, simplify liquidity flows, and lower integration complexity for developers building cross-chain applications. This development reinforces the trend toward canonical, issuer-aligned stablecoin movement across chains, rather than ad hoc, liquidity-pool-based bridging.
