Tether Upends Crypto Norms: First Blockchain to Offer Zero-Fee Transfers
Tether Upends Crypto Norms: First Blockchain to Offer Zero-Fee Transfers
14

Stablecoin giant Tether just rewrote the rulebook—launching the first blockchain where transfers won't cost users a dime. Forget gas fees, network charges, or the usual 'infrastructure tax' crypto loves to impose.
How it works: By leveraging Tether's deep liquidity reserves (and some clever protocol tweaks), transactions settle without nibbling away at users' balances. Traders get frictionless swaps, remittance corridors open wider, and DeFi suddenly looks less predatory.
The catch? This 'free' model likely monetizes through opaque order-flow mechanics—because in finance, if you're not paying, you're the product. Still, a watershed moment for crypto's usability.
