Tether Implements USDT Social Security Payments for Filipinos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Social Security System in the Philippines is a state-run social insurance program that benefits employees in the informal, formal, and private sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Social Security System (SSS) is legally required to assist citizens during challenging periods. At present, it oversees two programs: employee compensation and social security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

USDT Payments for Government Insurance Programs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tether has partnered with Web3 commerce and infrastructure firm Uquid to enable citizens of the Philippines to pay their SSS contributions in Tether on The Open Network blockchain<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uquid stated that the collaboration with Tether underscores the potential of stablecoins such as USDT and “crypto in general” to facilitate and improve our daily lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demand for Stablecoin Increases<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stablecoins have been the driving force behind the increased mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies in recent years. Beginning as an on-ramp mechanism for centralized exchanges, stablecoins have evolved into the primary liquidity provider in both centralized and decentralized markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A mainstream payment platform, PayPal USD<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> recently launched its native stablecoin.
