Tether just dropped a bombshell: it’s ending support for $USDT on Omni, Bitcoin$BTC Cash SLP, Kusama, EOS, and Algorand by Sept 1, 2025. Why? Usage tanked. 🔻
Over the past 2 years, barely anyone’s been using these chains for USDT. And with $156B in circulation, Tether’s not here to babysit dead chains. Instead, they’re moving full steam into Layer 2s like Lightning ⚡ and newer blockchains that actually build. 🚀
CEO Paolo Ardoino said it best: “We’re focusing on scalability, dev energy, and real community.” Translation? It’s out with the old, in with what pumps adoption. 🔥
If you’re still holding USDT on any of the 5 axed networks… migrate ASAP or risk getting frozen. Exchanges and bridges are your exit ramp.
👀 Fun Fact: Over 95% of USDT lives on just Ethereum and Tron. Solana’s the only other chain with skin in the game. The rest? Ghost towns. 🧟♂️
