Tether Endorses LayerZero as the Backbone of Interoperable Finance

Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, declared his thoughts in a statement. He said, “Tether invests in infrastructure that is already delivering real-world utility. LayerZero Labs has built interoperability technology that allows digital assets to be transferred in real-time across any transport layer and distributed ledger, enabling a fundamental utility within the financial industry. This enables digital assets to serve the infinite agentic AI economy that will require such primitives to orchestrate micro-payments at an unprecedented scale.”

The CEO of LayerZero, Bryan Pellegrino, also expressed his opinion. He said, “Tether is a company the world envies. They have turned a vision of borderless money into a reality. The success of USDt0 was an important stepping stone. Having Tether deepen its commitment with this investment is the ultimate validation. We are thrilled to continue building the rails for global permissionless markets together.”
