“We’re thrilled to be launching USD₮ on Kava, offering its strong community access to the world’s first, most stable, most trusted, and most widely used stablecoin.”
Ardoino emphasized the significance of safeguarding USDT users by highlighting the Kava network’s four-year track record of zero security incidents. Tether’s decision to launch on the Kava platform bolsters its position as the market’s dominant stablecoin.
