Odaily reports: UniSat has announced a partnership with Utexo, planning to integrate USDT into UniSat Wallet and UniScan based on the RGB protocol. In the future, users will be able to manage and transfer USDT alongside BTC, Ordinals, Runes, and other assets within the Bitcoin ecosystem. After completing wallet and explorer support, UniSat plans to enable trading between Bitcoin native assets and USDT on UniHexa. As a direct partner of Tether for Bitcoin USDT infrastructure, Utexo will assist in verifying officially issued USDT assets and plans to roll out deployment in phases, starting with institutional liquidity and exchanges before expanding to retail users.
According to CoinDesk, Utexo, an infrastructure project supported by Tether, plans to issue USDT on the Bitcoin network this month. Utexo has obtained a commercial license to issue USDT on Bitcoin and plans to provide corresponding APIs, SDKs, and cloud infrastructure for exchanges, wallets, and payment service providers. Based on the RGB protocol and the Bitcoin UTXO model, Utexo will keep most transaction data off-chain, with a focus on supporting three types of applications: private USDT transfers, direct swaps between native BTC and USDT, and borrowing using native BTC as collateral without wrapping BTC to other blockchains. USDT was first issued on the Bitcoin network via the Omni protocol in 2014, after which Ethereum and Tron gradually became its primary circulating networks. Following the issuance of USDT on the Bitcoin mainnet, Utexo also plans to further expand to the Lightning Network.

According to GlobeNewswire, Solv Protocol announced a strategic integration with Utexo to launch a native Bitcoin yield solution built on the RGB protocol and the Lightning Network. This solution enables atomic swaps between native BTC and USDT—without wrapping, cross-chain bridges, or custodians. It emphasizes self-custody, privacy protection, and final settlement, aligning with Tether’s prior announcement of natively issuing USDT on an RGB-compatible Lightning Network. Additionally, Solv participated as a strategic angel investor in Utexo’s $7.5 million seed funding round, led by Tether.
