Tether Drops USDT on Kaia—LINE’s Blockchain Play Bets Big on Asian Stablecoin Adoption
Tether just fired the latest shot in Asia’s stablecoin wars—deploying USDT on Kaia, the blockchain backed by messaging giant LINE. This move turbocharges liquidity for a platform already serving 200M+ users across Japan, Thailand, and Taiwan.
Why it matters: While regulators drag their feet on clear crypto rules, Tether’s planting flags where traditional finance won’t tread. The play? Capture the remittance corridors and DeFi ecosystems booming despite—or perhaps because of—banking red tape.
Bonus jab: Nothing says ’financial revolution’ like a centralized stablecoin propping up decentralized networks. The irony’s thicker than a bull market order book.
