Tether Brings USDT Back to Bitcoin With RGB Rollout
Tether, issuer of USDT, the world’s largest stablecoin, plans to issue USDT natively on Bitcoin through RGB protocol v0.11.1, with UTEXO leading the commercial rollout. The move would bring USDT back to the Bitcoin network, where it first launched in 2014 through Omni-Mastercoin. RGB will allow users to send and receive USDT between Bitcoin addresses and compatible wallets, with UTEXO saying the feature could go live as early as July and be supported later by Tether Wallet and multiple exchanges.
BIP-110 or not, Bitcoin is moving forward. With RGB21, art and unique assets can finally be done on Bitcoin the right way: sovereign, private, scalable, and without the spam. Real innovation that respects money first. The future looks clean.

Dear Community,
We are kicking off a major update and comprehensive infrastructure maintenance for Bitmask Core, Wallet API, and the Diba Marketplace.
Timeline:
This work begins today, Wednesday, May 7 and will continue through May 14, 2026. During this period, you may experience temporary disruptions or limited availability across these services as we optimize, upgrade, and strengthen the underlying infrastructure.
Why we’re doing this:
This upgrade is a critical step in preparing for the full launch of mainnet RGB assets with stable support for onchain atomic swap after extensive tests and fixes. We’re laying the foundation for greater stability, performance, and scalability so the entire ecosystem can operate at its full potential. We will provide regular updates and a final confirmation once all work is successfully completed and services are fully restored.
Thank you for your patience and continued support. We’re building the future of Bitcoin-native assets together, and this is a big leap forward.
Stay tuned —> the best is coming soon.
The Bitmask & Diba Team
we are getting to production readiness with RGB.
Many of us have waited far too long and the devs have not given up on this precious bitcoin promise. The team plans to enjoy a weekend of edgecase testing of RGB21<>BTC atomic swaps.
Happy Friday!
RGB is maturing.
first thing after coming back from @TheBitcoinConf Vegas was to test the latest implementation of UDA (RGB21) and bitcoin atomic swaps onchain. So far i like what i see. i will keep testing throughout the day looking for edge cases.
As we bring RGB to production, Art which is the oldest asset class in human history will benefit greatly from $USDT issance on bitcoin as both on the same RGB protocol.
This is something ordinals lacked and why I never added ordinals support into BitMask.
A new dawn is coming!
At every point in Bitcoin's history, Art has always been part of the evolution. This new phase will be an accelerant @trydiba
