USDT will launch on the Bitcoin network in October through Utexo based on the RGB protocol, providing users with private USDT transfers and direct BTC/USDT swaps without exchanges. The launch "this month" has been confirmed by reports about the upcoming release in the Bitcoin ecosystem.

The mechanism for direct swaps without exchanges allows participants to trade assets without intermediaries or moving funds to centralized platforms, simplifying transactions and reducing reliance on crypto exchange infrastructure.

The next step after the launch is planned integration with the Lightning Network. The upcoming launch was previously hinted at by the CEO of Tether.
