Stellar moves money in seconds, charges less than a tenth of a cent per transaction, and reaches cash-to-crypto ramps across over 180 countries. The traditional correspondent banking system charges more per transfer than fees Stellar’s network incurs across ten thousand individual transactions. 
Starting today, USDT0 is now live on Stellar, enabling the network to tap into more than $180 billion in USDT liquidity. The same digital dollar that already settles across more than 20 chains now works on one of the longest-running payment networks, built for global payments and financial access.
The Role of Stellar in Global Payments Infrastructure
Long before stablecoins became the backbone of onchain finance, the Stellar network was built to allow the movement of economic value across borders. It is one of the industry’s longest-running networks, and was designed from the outset to support fast, low-cost, and reliable financial infrastructure. 
Stellar’s architecture prioritizes predictable settlement, minimal fees, and support for asset issuance. This focus has translated into years of real-world activity. Stellar powers cross-border payments, aid distribution, and consumer financial services where fees need to stay low and transactions need to settle quickly, even at scale. These live deployments are wide in industry scope and impact, from digital asset solutions for financial giants like WisdomTree and MoneyGram to a first-of-its-kind aid disbursement program with the UN Refugee Agency.
From a technical perspective, Stellar’s defining strengths include:
Fast, deterministic settlement: Transactions finalize in seconds, enabling real-time payments and reducing counterparty and settlement risk.

Low, predictable fees: Consistently minimal transaction costs make high-volume payments and micro-transfers economically viable.

Easy asset integration: Stellar was built to support issued assets at the protocol level, simplifying compliance, configurability, custody, and integration for regulated use cases.

Global financial reach: The open source network underpins remittance corridors, fintech platforms, and NGO payment programs operating across dozens of countries.

Together, these characteristics have made Stellar a trusted execution layer for real-world financial activity, especially where reliability and cost control matter as much as rapid throughput.
What USDT0 Brings to Stellar
Rather than introducing another bridged or wrapped representation, this deployment anchors USDT0 directly within Stellar’s asset model while connecting it to the same unified liquidity used across other major ecosystems. USDT0 on Stellar is now available on BiLira Kripto, Bitget Wallet, Fireblocks, Freighter, Kraken, Kredete, Lobstr, Meru, Ramp Network, and SushiSwap, with additional partners such as Exodus expected to go live shortly.
For the Stellar ecosystem, this means:
Unified liquidity: The USDT0 integration to Stellar connects to the same USDT liquidity available across its other supported networks.

Seamless cross-chain movement: Stablecoin balances can move into and out of Stellar without relying on custodial bridges or isolated liquidity pools.

Simpler integrations for builders: Developers can design payment flows, DeFi applications, and treasury systems around a single, consistent USDT asset.

In short, for Stellar this USDT0 integration is less about adding a new stablecoin and more about making existing USDT liquidity accessible and movable across networks, upgrading how liquidity behaves. Instead of treating cross-chain stablecoin movement as a challenge to build around, USDT0 makes it a feature that aligns with the focus on interoperability and onchain finance for Stellar.
Extending USDT0 Into Non-EVM Infrastructure
The Stellar network was purpose-built for letting money move as quickly and easily as information moves on the internet. With USDT0 now live, that vision gains access to a consistent dollar that can move across networks without fragmentation, wrappers, or third-party bridges.
Stellar has spent more than a decade building infrastructure for real-world payments. With USDT0, that infrastructure gains access to USDT liquidity that can move across supported networks, rather than remaining fragmented between them.
