Tether, a leading company in the digital asset sector, has announced a strategic investment in t-0 network, a settlement platform powered by USD₮ designed for licensed financial institutions, with the aim of facilitating instant and cost-efficient cross-border payments.
The t-0 network provides a proprietary payments solution that connects banks and fintechs around the world, enabling coordinated fiat-to-fiat transactions with near-instant settlement and minimal fees by leveraging stablecoins as the primary settlement infrastructure.
This approach reduces foreign exchange exposure, lowers capital requirements, opens new revenue opportunities for members globally, and simplifies the complexity inherent in traditional banking systems.
The t-0 network allows international payments to function similarly to domestic transactions. Each participant in a transaction pays or receives funds in their local currency, while the network’s global ledger records and matches transactions across financial institutions before settling balances, ensuring transparency and accuracy.
Operating as a trusted, non-custodial infrastructure, t-0 facilitates secure, on-chain movement of funds between licensed partners. It connects institutions through a single API and settles only the net balance in each partner’s chosen currency, providing a more reliable and transparent model for international payments.
USD₮, a widely adopted digital dollar with deep global liquidity, forms the foundation of the network. By leveraging USD₮, t-0 delivers regulated, programmable settlement between financial institutions, transforming the stablecoin’s global liquidity into an institutional-grade network capable of near-instant, compliant cross-border value transfers.
This investment reflects Tether’s ongoing commitment to advancing financial infrastructure, enabling practical use cases for USD₮, and promoting global financial inclusion.

BitGo’s move creates further competition in a burgeoning European crypto market that is expected to generate $26 billion revenue this year, according to one estimate. BitGo, a digital asset infrastructure company with more than $100 billion in assets under custody, has received an extension of its license from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), enabling it to offer crypto services to European investors. The company said its local subsidiary, BitGo Europe, can now provide custody, staking, transfer, and trading services. Institutional clients will also have access to an over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk and multiple liquidity venues.The extension builds on BitGo’s previous Markets-in-Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license, also issued by BaFIN, and adds trading to the existing custody, transfer and staking services. BitGo acquired its initial MiCA license in May 2025, which allowed it to offer certain services to traditional institutions and crypto native companies in the European Union.Read more
