San Salvador-Teter, the cryptographic company behind the largest in Stablecoin, is presenting its token of $ 140 billion USDT to Bitcoin, the block chain that supports the largest and most old cryptocurrency, and the network of scales based on Bitcoin, the company published on X on Thursday.
Stablecoins are a class of digital assets of $ 200 billion with their prices anchored to an external asset, predominantly the US dollar. They serve as a bridge between the money issued by the government and digital assets based on blockchain, and are increasingly popular for everyday uses such as payments, savings and remittances, especially in emerging countries.
Although the use of Stablecoin has expanded rapidly in recent years, activity and supply are mainly concentrated on intelligent contract platforms such as Ethereum, Tron and Solana.
What makes USDT integration with Bitcoin is possible is active taproot, a piece of infrastructure that allows asset emissions in the Bitcoin base layer and transfers through the Lightning Network, a scale platform that focuses on rapid transactions And cheap, which makes micropories more profitable. The protocol, developed by Lightning Labs and launched last year, opens the way to bring external tokens such as Stablecoins to Bitcoin ecosystem.
