Tether to Launch New U.S.-Regulated Stablecoin USA₮, Compliant to the GENIUS Act

The world’s leading stablecoin issuer, Tether, has announced an upcoming innovation to boost the U.S. stablecoin market. According to a recent press release, it is working to launch USA₮, a new stablecoin whose value is tied to the U.S. dollar.

Tether’s first-ever stablecoin, USDT, ranks as the world’s fourth-largest cryptocurrency, with a market capitalization of over $169.3 billion. It is available across global crypto exchanges and peer-to-peer platforms. Notably, Tether also plans such massive development for its upcoming USA₮.

New U.S.-Regulated Stablecoin, USA₮

Tether plans to launch USA₮ as a U.S.-regulated stablecoin, serving as a digital alternative to cash and traditional payments. It will be guided by stringent regulatory standards and bolstered by transparent reserves to pioneer a new benchmark for accessibility and regulatory adherence within the rapidly growing U.S. stablecoin industry.

Commenting on the company’s recent plan to boost its stablecoin offering, Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, said:

“For over a decade, Tether – as the creator of the stablecoin industry – has issued USD₮, the backbone of the digital economy… proving that digital assets can deliver trust, resilience, and freedom on a global scale. Today, with the introduction of USA₮… we are taking the next natural step, bringing that same strength to the U.S. under a world-leading U.S.-regulatory framework.”

Strict GENIUS Act Compliance 

To achieve strict standards, Tether plans to ensure that USA₮ complies with the recently enacted Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act (GENIUS Act). 

Recall that the U.S. government unveiled the GENIUS Act on July 18, 2025. It establishes clear guidelines for stablecoin issuance, reinforcing the U.S. dollar’s dominance in various facets of the global financial market. It ensures that stablecoin issuers maintain 100% reserves in the U.S. dollar or other corresponding liquid assets.

Moreover, the project will design USA₮ to capitalize on its advanced real-world assets tokenization platform, the Hadron by Tether. Additionally, Anchorage Digital, the only federally chartered crypto bank in the U.S., will be the GENIUS Act-compliant issuer, ensuring that the USA₮ will launch as a fully regulated digital dollar.
