A Stablecoin Made for America
Tether launched USAt, a new dollar-backed stablecoin designed to operate fully inside the United States regulatory system. It is issued by Anchorage Digital Bank, a federally regulated crypto bank.
USAt was built to comply with the US GENIUS Act, a law passed in 2025 that created clear federal rules for payment stablecoins. This gives institutions a product that fits US banking expectations.
How USAt Is Structured
USAt launches with a $10 million supply and runs as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum. Cantor Fitzgerald manages the reserves, offering custody and visibility for institutions that demand oversight.
The stablecoin is already available on major platforms like Kraken, Crypto.com, Bybit, OKX, and MoonPay. Tether says USAt is aimed at US users who want compliance without losing blockchain access.
Tether’s Institutional Push
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said USAt brings a “made in America” option for digital dollars. The company believes regulated stablecoins will play a growing role in payments and finance.
USAt CEO Bo Hines added that the focus is stability, transparency, and governance. The message is clear: this token is built for regulators, banks, and large financial players.
Footing:
Stablecoin: a crypto token pegged to a real asset like the US dollar.
ERC-20: a standard used for tokens on the Ethereum blockchain.
GENIUS Act: a US law defining federal rules for payment stablecoins.
