Co-founder @usdt0_to | Creating cross-chain liquidity infrastructure for @tether

[Kevin @zerokevo]

Every inefficiency in finance survives for one reason:

Humans are too forgiving.

But agents are not programmed to be forgiving, and they won’t wait 3 days for money to move. They exist to find the fastest, cheapest, and safest solutions.

Unless we fix the underlying source problems, these issues will be impossible to ignore as intelligent money accelerates.

We built USDT0 to fix the friction inside something that already had product-market fit, before the demand arrived.

Intelligent money, everywhere.

More soon.

[USDT0 @USDT0_to]

AI agents will mediate $3-5 trillion by 2030.

They won't wait for SWIFT or ACH. They'll settle in seconds, on any chain, in the asset they trust.

That asset is USDT. The infra is USDT0. Borderless, machine-speed money for the agentic economy.

Intelligent money, everywhere.

[Kevin @zerokevo]

Getting an asset live on a new chain used to mean standing up its liquidity from scratch every time with separate mint ops, bridge risk, a different wrapped version to maintain on each one.

XAUt0 collapsed that into one integration.

A year in, and now our focus turns to the builders putting gold to work in novel ways - as collateral, yield, settlement, and for agentic finance.

More soon.

[USDT0 @USDT0_to]

One year ago, we made @tethergold accessible to every network.

Over 1,800 gold bars in Swiss vaults backing 100% of tokens issued, now on 14 chains and counting.

The world's largest tokenized gold asset, programmable for the best emerging financial products built on any chain.

[Kevin @zerokevo]

One API, USDT0 settling across 20+ chains in seconds.

[Stables @stables_money]

🤖 AI agents can plug into Stables today.

One API, MCP-ready, USDT0 settlement across 20+ chains in seconds. Compliance, KYC and multi-jurisdiction licensing across AU, EU and Canada built in.

The infra for the agentic economy is here.

Need to organize a super smash tourney.

[Adam Draper ⏻ @AdamDraper]

If anyone can beat me in Mario Kart n64, I will fund their company.

1. They must have a company.
2. They must own an M64.
3. We must play head to head, and I need 24 hours notice.

@zerolore The agentic commerce starts with usdt0.

Intelligent money, everywhere

[Kevin @zerokevo]

@zerolore @tempo @krakenfx No second best

[Kevin @zerokevo]

Great listing!

[Tempo @tempo]

Live on Tempo: @krakenfx now supports USDT0 deposits and withdrawals on Tempo.

This makes Kraken the first U.S. exchange to natively support Tempo, giving clients a fast, stablecoin-native rail for moving funds on and off exchange.

[Kevin @zerokevo]

Great post on the value of USDT0: a single source of liquidity across networks.

[USDT0 @USDT0_to]

Fast settlement means nothing if capital can't reach the apps that need it.

@Tempo settles payments in under a second. But if the dollars arrive through three separate bridge pools, the speed advantage evaporates.

Speed creates the product. Liquidity makes the market.

[Kevin @zerokevo]

Bringing each USDT deployment onto the USDT0 Network takes planning and a security first sequence because the point is to upgrade the liquidity without disrupting anyone already using it.

@arbitrum was one of the first, @0xPolygon came soon after.

The large deployments, @trondao, @solana and TON, sat outside the network for a while.

We developed the legacy mesh to close that gap. It’s costly but it provides and rebalances liquidity across those deployments and connects them to the USDT0 Network.

Two systems doing two different jobs so that $175B is reachable from a new chain the moment it launches.

Our most ambitious internal goal is to fold those mesh deployments fully into the network so the rebalancing step goes away.

There’s a lot of variables in this endeavor that need to be figured out before this becomes a possibility but when it does, $175B reaches any chain across our network seamlessly, removing friction across the board.

[USDT0 @USDT0_to]

When the USDT0 Network launched on Solana, it connected to $175B in unified USDT liquidity across Ethereum, Tron, TON, and more.

Plasma launched with more than $2B in USDT0 liquidity from day one.

The best new chains don't build liquidity slowly. Fast chains need fast capital.

[Kevin @zerokevo]

Great interview! @zerolore is sharing a ton of gems here.

[zerolore @zerolore]

$95B across 20+ chains in 16 months.

No VC money. Bank hours. Middleman taking cut.

Turns out all you need to do to find PMF is build better rails for assets people already trust.

Thank you @_TalkingTokens for having me on!

[Kevin @zerokevo]

The agentic commerce opportunity is the perfect fit for USDT0.

[USDT0 @USDT0_to]

An enterprise agent that submits a vendor payment at 4:55 PM on a Friday waits until Monday.

The workflow stalls, proceeds on an unconfirmed assumption, or duplicates the payment and reconciles later.

Agentic commerce needs machine-speed money - welcome to USDT0.

[Kevin @zerokevo]

@Underdog_13___ @USDT0_to thats right!

[Kevin @zerokevo]

@USDT0_to @arbitrum Upgraded and everywhere

[Kevin @zerokevo]

$1.3B of USDT migrated into our contracts. That was the @arbitrum move that put USDT0 on the map.

Funds started integrating. CEXs followed. The first billion-dollar routes opened from there.

Ethereum → Arbitrum is the busiest lane on the network today. None of it happens without that first call.

[USDT0 @USDT0_to]

The single busiest USDT0 L2 route by volume: Ethereum → @Arbitrum.

$6.4B moved across 30,947 transactions. Average transfer size: $206K.

Average settlement time: 4 minutes 54 seconds.

Institutional size at internet speed.

[Kevin @zerokevo]

@zerolore @arbitrum One click and watching 10 figures appear in our contracts

[Kevin @zerokevo]

Agents transacting across siloed chains just recreates many of tradfi’s problems.

Our thesis from day zero has been that finance is coming onchain, across many chains, and @Tether's assets need to work everywhere seamlessly in order to become the default assets for the agentic economy.

We run a lean, AI-enabled team for the same reason. You can't build infra for machine economy at human speed.

Intelligent money, everywhere.

[USDT0 @USDT0_to]

McKinsey projects agentic commerce will reach $3-5 trillion by 2030.

Those agents need to settle payments continuously, across borders, at any hour of the day.

The rails they're expected to run on? Closed 104 days a year.

That's why USDT0 is building machine-speed money.

[Kevin @zerokevo]

Our second largest destination in the network launched with USDT0 and watched $27B flow in.

Plasma has been outstanding. Big congrats @pauliepunt and team.

[USDT0 @USDT0_to]

Over $27B has flowed into @Plasma via USDT0 since launch, making it the second largest destination chain in the entire network after Ethereum.

A chain that didn't exist two years ago.

Now, redefining how money moves at scale and powering a new global financial system.

[Kevin @zerokevo]

@Zdeadex @Stable Stable is one of our partner chains. We are aligned on the USDT0 roadmap and @stable is putting our product front and center of their ecosystem.
