Tether Selects Anchorage Digital to Set New Standard for U.S. Stablecoins

The future of digital dollars is here. Tether, the largest stablecoin company in the world, is collaborating with Anchorage Digital to set a new standard for the U.S. stablecoin ecosystem. Together, we are launching a new, GENIUS Act-compliant stablecoin for the U.S. marketplace, USA₮—issued from Anchorage Digital Bank NA, the first and only U.S. federally chartered digital asset bank.    

With over $160 billion in circulation globally, Tether has long been a first-mover in digital asset innovation and the bedrock of global stablecoin adoption. As the largest stablecoin in the world, USDT is trusted by more than 500 million users globally to bring safe, secure, and streamlined access to the U.S. dollar. 

Now, Tether is bringing that proven scale to the U.S. market through industry-leading stablecoin infrastructure from Anchorage Digital Bank. The new collaboration bridges the gap between digital asset innovation and the regulatory compliance that only a federally chartered bank can provide. As part of the collaboration, Anchorage Digital Bank will manage the issuance, reserve management, and financial, compliance, and risk management of the new stablecoin.

"The GENIUS Act laid out the vision for U.S. stablecoin leadership—now, Anchorage Digital and Tether are making it a reality. Bringing the largest stablecoin ecosystem in the world to the U.S. under federal oversight is exactly what American consumers and institutions need. With the scale of Tether and the regulatory certainty of Anchorage Digital, we are setting the gold standard for the U.S. stablecoin market. This is about more than just launching a new token—it is about advancing the strength of the U.S. dollar globally for decades to come.”
— Nathan McCauley, CEO and Co-Founder of Anchorage Digital

As a regulatory leader with crypto-native DNA, Anchorage Digital is the stablecoin issuer of choice for institutions. With deep, multi-chain expertise and a proven track record in safeguarding tens of billions of dollars in crypto for the largest institutions in the world, Anchorage Digital is the company that stablecoin leaders like Tether choose to scale for the long-term. 

"We are pleased that Anchorage Digital, the first and only federally regulated crypto bank, will be the issuer supporting the launch of USA₮, the first stablecoin created specifically for the United States, providing the fully regulated foundation for Tether to bring digital dollars to America. With USA₮, Americans will finally have access to the same speed, reliability, and trust that have made Tether essential around the world. USA₮ is made for America - built to strengthen the dollar, support everyday people, and reinforce the U.S. economy for years to come.”
— Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether

Together, Anchorage Digital and Tether are pioneering a new chapter in the digital asset economy, one where innovation and regulation work hand-in-hand to unlock the full potential of the U.S. dollar.
