Tether invests in LayerZero Labs, enhancing blockchain interoperability.

The company Tether, issuer of the stablecoin USDT, has announced strategic investments in LayerZero Labs, a developer of interoperability protocols.

According to the statement, the investment reflects support for the production-ready blockchain interoperability infrastructure used in the crypto industry.

Combined with Tether’s wallet development kit, the LayerZero platform serves as a foundation for payments, settlements, and storage of digital assets in real-world conditions, and is ideally suited for financial operations by AI agents, the company emphasized.

Throughout 2025, the LayerZero protocol was used by Everdawn Labs to develop and launch omnichain versions of the “stablecoins” USDT0 and XAUT0.

“Built on LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token standard, these products have demonstrated that stablecoins and tokenized assets can move seamlessly between blockchains without fragmentation or loss of liquidity,” Tether highlighted.

In less than 12 months since its launch, USDT0 facilitated cross-chain transactions exceeding $70 billion. The company described this as tangible proof of LayerZero’s global compatibility technology, which serves as “critical infrastructure for supporting major assets.”

“Tether is envied worldwide. They have realized the concept of cross-border money. The success of USDT0 was a significant step. Strengthening the company’s position through these investments is further evidence of its importance. We are excited to continue working together to create global decentralized markets,” said LayerZero CEO Brian Pellegrino.

Earlier, Tether’s net profit for 2025 exceeded $10 billion. The company accumulated a reserve of 148 tonnes of gold.
