With this launch, TON became the 15th blockchain to support Tether's tokens.

The partnership is set to transform worldwide peer-to-peer payments, allowing Telegram's users to instantaneously send money through direct messages.

Ardoino remarked:

The launch of USDT and XAUT on TON will allow seamless value transfer, increasing activity and liquidity while offering users a financial experience that can match those found in the traditional financial system.

In addition to this launch, Tether announced a restructuring of the company, introducing four new business divisions: Tether Data, Tether Finance, Tether Power, and Tether Edu. This reorganization aims to enhance Tether's service offerings and operational efficiency across its expanded network.

As Tether continues to innovate, the collaboration with Telegram's TON network will likely enhance the accessibility and usability of crypto for a global audience.
