According to a report by Everdawn Labs for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theblock.co\/post\/399640\/99-2-of-omni-chain-tether-backed-stablecoin-holders-have-less-than-1000-usdt0\">The Block<\/a>, 99.2% of users hold less than $1,000 in their wallets.<\/p>\n<p>Balances ranging from $100,000 to $1 million are held by 1,200 users, while only 35 addresses hold over $10 million. Developers believe this audience structure indicates genuine demand from ordinary people, not just institutions.<\/p>\n<p>USDT0 was <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/tether-launches-cross-chain-stablecoin-usdt0-on-krakens-ink-l2\">launched<\/a> at the beginning of 2025 with the support of LayerZero and Tether. The protocol operates across 23 blockchains, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/tempo-valued-at-5-billion-following-500-million-funding-round\">Tempo network by Stripe<\/a>. The total trading volume to date has reached $86.7 billion. In terms of USDT held, the protocol ranks third after the Binance and OKX exchanges.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Cases<\/h2>\n<p>Users primarily employ the token in the DeFi sector. In April, the trading volume of derivatives using USDT0 reached $80 million. The token is also used for moving capital between networks.<\/p>\n<p>Data from the <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/what-are-cross-chain-bridges\">cross-chain<\/a> gateway confirms retail dominance: the median transfer amount is $902, while the average is about $90,000. Transactions exceeding $1 million account for only 1.8% of the total number, yet they constitute 68.8% of the overall volume.<\/p>\n<p>USDT0 has changed hands nearly 22 times with a supply volume of $4 billion. Project co-founder Lorenzo Romagnoli stated that in 2026, the team will focus on integrating with new ecosystems and simplifying gateways for deposits and withdrawals.<\/p>\n<p>The project does not claim revenue from Tether&#8217;s reserves. According to Romagnoli, the main goal of USDT0 is to unify liquidity and eliminate market barriers. The team covers operational expenses through partnerships with blockchains.<\/p>\n<p>Back in April, Tether&#8217;s investment division <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/tether-proposes-bitcoin-conglomerate-with-xxi-strike-and-elektron\">proposed<\/a> merging three companies to create a leading public entity in the Bitcoin industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The omnichain token USDT0, backed by the stablecoin USDT at a 1:1 ratio, is primarily popular among retail users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":96719,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"select":"1","news_style_id":"1","cryptorium_level":"","_short_excerpt_text":"USDT0, backed by USDT, is popular among retail users, with 99.2% holding less than $1,000.","creation_source":"","_metatest_mainpost_news_update":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[807,1245],"class_list":["post-96718","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-and-analysis","tag-stablecoins","tag-tether-usdt"],"aioseo_notices":[],"amp_enabled":true,"views":"5","promo_type":"1","layout_type":"1","short_excerpt":"USDT0, backed by USDT, is popular among retail users, with 99.2% holding less than $1,000.","is_update":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96718","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=96718"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96718\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":96720,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96718\/revisions\/96720"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/96719"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=96718"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=96718"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=96718"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
