Tether Launches Federally Regulated USAT Stablecoin for U.S. Market Under GENIUS Act Framework
Tether has officially introduced USAT, a dollar-backed stablecoin designed specifically for the U.S. market under the GENIUS Act framework. Issued by Anchorage Digital Bank, this marks Tether's formal entry into America's federally regulated stablecoin regime.
The launch signals a pivotal shift in how digital dollars may function within the U.S. financial system. Unlike USDT, which operates globally, USAT is tailored for domestic compliance and the country's evolving payment infrastructure.
Former White House Crypto Council Executive Director Bo Hines leads the initiative as CEO of Tether USAT. The stablecoin is now available to U.S. users seeking a federally compliant digital dollar alternative.
