Tether has launched tether.wallet, a fully self-custodial digital wallet designed to simplify access to major digital assets including USDT, USAT, XAUT, and Bitcoin.

The wallet operates across multiple networks such as Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum, and supports Bitcoin on-chain and via the Lightning Network. It removes traditional blockchain friction by allowing users to send funds using simple identifiers instead of long wallet addresses and by enabling fee payments on the transferred asset itself.

Private keys remain fully under user control, with all transactions signed locally.
