Tether to End USDT Support on 5 Blockchains

- USDT support ends on 5 blockchains by Sept 1, 2025.

- Focus shifts to blockchains with stronger adoption.
Major Chains Dropped as Tether Streamlines
Tether has announced it will officially end support for its USDT stablecoin on five blockchain platforms—Omni Layer, Bitcoin Cash SLP, Kusama, EOS, and Algorand—by September 1, 2025. The move comes as part of Tether’s ongoing infrastructure review aimed at maintaining efficiency and security across its operations.
This marks a significant shift in the stablecoin’s deployment strategy, as Tether looks to focus on networks with greater usage and long-term viability. The announcement, made public via social media, signals a tightening of Tether’s multi-chain approach and could impact users who still rely on these networks.
Why Tether Is Scaling Back
According to Tether, the decision was driven by its commitment to maintain “robust and efficient transport layers.” These five networks have shown declining usage and community activity, which made their continued support less sustainable from both a security and operational standpoint.
Omni, one of the first networks to host USDT, has seen its relevance fade with newer, faster networks entering the scene. Similarly, platforms like EOS and Algorand, once seen as strong contenders in the blockchain race, have not gained the traction Tether deems necessary to continue support.
What Users Should Know
Users holding USDT on any of the affected networks should take action before the cutoff date. Tether will stop issuing USDT on these blockchains immediately, with full support ending by September 1, 2025.
Redemption will still be possible for some time after issuance ends, but users are encouraged to migrate their holdings to other supported blockchains such as Ethereum, Tron, or Solana. This transition is expected to further consolidate Tether’s presence on high-volume, high-performance networks.
