Utexo to launch USDT on Bitcoin via RGB protocol with Lightning support
Utexo is preparing to bring Tether's USDT back to Bitcoin after a three‑year pause, using the RGB protocol to keep transaction data off‑chain. The public launch is set for Nov. 28, with Lightning Network support planned for Q1 2027 to enable private, fast payments. USDT previously operated on Bitcoin via the Omni protocol before halting issuance in August 2023. Tether led Utexo's $7.5 million seed round in March, and the company opened early access to its USDT Mint product on Oct. 22 for verified operators on the Signet test network. Utexo has partnered with UniSat and is working with multiple OTC partners for the rollout.
