Employees Tether together with employees of Lightning Labs, who developed the Taproot Assets protocol for creating tokenized assets, will issue USDT on the BTC blockchain and in a decentralized second-layer network Lightning Network , used to perform instant transactions.
Bringing USDT to the Network Lightning Network , we are not only strengthening the fundamental principles of Bitcoin related to decentralization and security, but also solving practical problems in the field of money transfers and other financial transactions that require speed and reliability, - said the director Tether Paolo Ardoino.

When will USDT appear on the Bitcoin blockchain and on the network Lightning Network , is still unknown. However, Lightning Labs' director of business development Ryan Gentry сообщил , that thanks to the release of USDT in the BTC ecosystem, companies that accept bitcoin transfers through Lightning Network , will be able to use stablecoins as a means of payment. In addition, the integration of USDT will allow ordinary bitcoiners from countries with a weak economy and a constantly depreciating national currency to protect themselves from inflation.
However, USDT in the BTC ecosystem will be used not only by people, but also by AI agents, which are autonomous programs that operate on the basis of artificial intelligence technology. Thanks to Lightning Network they will be able to make microtransactions not only in bitcoins, but also in stablecoins issued Tether .
