Tether Launches USAT Stablecoin Compliant with U.S. Regulations Under GENIUS Act
Tether has unveiled USAT, a new stablecoin specifically designed for the U.S. market, adhering to federal regulations outlined in the GENIUS Act. Issued by Anchorage Digital Bank, N.A., this marks Tether's first fully regulated stablecoin initiative within the United States.
The GENIUS Act mandates that payment stablecoins be federally supervised, fully reserved, and continuously monitored—criteria USAT meets without exception. Cantor Fitzgerald will serve as reserve custodian and primary dealer, ensuring institutional-grade oversight for platforms and enterprises requiring a compliant digital dollar.
