Tether launches on Kaia, brings USD₮ to LINE’s 196M user ecosystem

Tether’s USD₮ goes live on Kaia blockchain, powering stablecoin payments and DeFi tools for Line’s 196 million users across Asia.

Tether has deployed its flagship stablecoin, USD₮, on the Kaia blockchain as part of a broader collaboration with Line Next, the Web3 arm of Line, Japan’s popular messaging platform with over 196 million monthly active users.

The integration means USD₮ (USDT) will now be supported across Line’s messenger-based Mini DApp ecosystem and self-custodial wallet, enabling users to interact with stablecoins inside an interface they already use daily, Tether said in a May 7 announcement.
