Tether to End USDT Support on Five Blockchains

Tether, the issuer of the largest stablecoin USDT, has announced that it will stop supporting USDT on the Omni, Bitcoin Cash SLP, Kusama, EOS, and Algorand blockchains as of September 1, 2025.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated, ”The company will continue to support protocols that the community finds useful and will discontinue USDT options on blockchains with low demand and outdated infrastructure.”

Ardoino noted that this decision reflects a general trend in the crypto industry to focus on technologically advanced platforms, which can improve the stability and availability of digital assets. He also reminded users that the company had prepared in advance for the termination of support for these blockchains.

For example, in August 2023, Tether announced the discontinuation of USDT on the Omni Layer, Kusama, and Bitcoin Cash SLP platforms. In June 2024, the issuance of stablecoins on the EOS and Algorand platforms was discontinued.

Tether advised users to move their USDT to supported networks such as Ethereum or Tron by September 1.
