By: crypto news flash|2025/05/07 18:15:02

Tether integrates USDT natively on Kaia, allowing LINE users to send and receive stablecoins within the messaging app.The Kaia blockchain supports fast, EVM-compatible transactions, enhancing user experience for casual and DeFi users alike.Imagine being able to send USDT to your friends just from the LINE app, as easy as sending stickers. That’s not just a dream, as Tether has announced a new collaboration with LINE NEXT and Kaia to bring USDT natively to the Kaia blockchain. This isn’t your average token launch—it’s a new way to reach millions of users in Asia through a platform they’re already familiar with.USD₮ is coming to Kaia — and with it, seamless digital dollar payments inside the LINE ecosystem.Tether’s stablecoin will power Mini Dapps and more, unlocking a new era of digital dollar utility across Asia. https://t.co/5qK2Y2yFyJ pic.twitter.com/7clHMlWNwg— Tether (@Tether_to) May 7, 2025LINE and Kaia Make USDT Feel Effortless and FunThrough this partnership, LINE users can directly access the USDT stablecoin within the app, including sending and receiving digital assets without ever leaving the LINE ecosystem. Users can even earn USDT rewards simply by completing missions in Mini Dapps built on Kaia.This is where their unique approach comes into play: bringing stablecoins to casual users through features that feel like a light-hearted game, rather than a complicated traditional crypto wallet.Furthermore, the Kaia blockchain—the result of the merger of Klaytn and Finschia—offers block times of just one second and instant finality.So if you’ve ever been frustrated waiting for confirmations on other networks, Kaia promises to be a much faster experience. And since Kaia is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), developers won’t have to make many adjustments to build on top of it.Behind the Scenes: USDT, AI, and Tether’s Getting SeriousHowever, this isn’t the only move by Tether lately. CNF reports that Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, recently hinted at the launch of Tether.ai. This platform is designed to run AI agents directly on users’ devices, without a central server or cloud.Interestingly, the system will support direct payments with Bitcoin and USDT through the Wallet Development Kit integration. So, the AI you use later might be able to pay itself directly with crypto—without an intermediary.On the other hand, Tether is also continuing to strengthen its infrastructure side. In early May 2025, they minted an additional $1 billion USDT on the Tron network. The total amount of USDT on Tron now stands at $71.4 billion—just a hair behind Ethereum. If this trend continues, Tron could once again become the main USDT network.Not stopping there, Tether also embedded Chainalysis’ compliance system into their tokenization platform, Hadron. The goal is quite clear: to improve real-time transaction monitoring and ensure compliance with increasingly stringent regulations in the crypto space. Not just a tracking tool, Hadron wants to be a bridge between asset tokenization and the real world full of rules.And if you believe Tether is satisfy with one stablecoin, hold on. Paolo Ardoino also stated they are developing a new stablecoin particularly for the United States market. Target for launch? Depending on how stablecoin rules evolve in Uncle Sam’s country, late 2025 or early 2026. This stablecoin is set up to compete directly with services like Cash App and PayPal.As of May 2025, USDT still sits comfortably at the top of the global stablecoin market with a 61% share, or around $147.6 billion of the total market of $242 billion. In the DeFi ecosystem, USDT even contributed more than 28% of the total transaction fees in the last day.

Mainstream exchanges are, on one hand, massively delisting coins, and on the other hand, massively listing tokenized stock assets. Essentially, this is a supply-side reform aimed at "bad money." The quality of the asset targets and the compliance of the platforms will become the focus of competition...
