Dubai, UAE — Flare, the blockchain built for seamless interoperability, is expanding its ecosystem with the launch of USD₮0, the omnichain version of USDT — the world’s most widely used stablecoin.

With USD₮0 now live, Flare is unlocking a new era of liquidity, connecting the $140 billion USDT supply directly to XRP — the second-largest non-smart contract asset — without the need for wrapped tokens or risky third-party bridges.
Powered by LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard, USD₮0 already supports frictionless transfers across major networks like Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Sei, and now Flare. Since its debut in January, more than $2 billion has been bridged on-chain, cementing USD₮0 as a rising force in DeFi liquidity.
“USD₮0 accelerates real-world stablecoin adoption on Flare by addressing fragmented utility. Combined with Flare’s gasless transactions, this creates a frictionless, efficient experience that brings stablecoins closer to everyday use.”
Lorenzo R, Co-founder of USD₮0
Why USD₮0 Matters on Flare
Zero Gas Fees: Move USD₮0 across Flare without paying transaction costs — ideal for payments, remittances, and DeFi interactions.
High-Yield Opportunities: Thanks to the USD₮0 Boost program, holders can earn up to 30% APY (paid in rFLR) by participating in institutional-grade liquidity pools.
True Interoperability: With LayerZero’s OFT standard, USD₮0 can jump between chains in minutes, dramatically increasing capital efficiency.
Instant Transfers: Cross-chain moves that would traditionally take hours now complete in seconds to minutes.
USD₮0 is designed to become the cornerstone of Flare’s growing XRP DeFi ecosystem, powering liquidity for FXRP and upcoming liquid-staked XRP tokens.
“For Flare’s DeFi ecosystem to thrive, it needs a highly liquid, globally accessible stablecoin. USD₮0 delivers exactly that — unifying liquidity across chains and laying the foundation for a strong XRP DeFi economy.”
Hugo Philion, Co-Founder and CEO of Flare
The Big Picture: A New Standard for Stablecoins
Built directly on Tether’s trusted infrastructure, USD₮0 is poised to unify ecosystems behind a single, interoperable standard for USDT liquidity. Market momentum is already strong, with Flare expecting to surpass $1 billion TVL shortly after launch.
“USD₮0 represents a fundamental shift in stablecoins,” added Lorenzo R. “It’s not just a new version — it’s a complete reimagining of what’s possible for cross-chain liquidity and adoption.”
Anyone holding bridged USDT can now easily migrate to USD₮0 through Flare’s portal and start experiencing gasless transfers and high-yield opportunities today on platforms like SparkDEX and Kinetic.
