[PRESS RELEASE – Singapore, February 13, 2026]

Ethereum-based payment settlement network Morph has announced its integration of USDT0, the omnichain Tether liquidity network that utilizes LayerZero technology. This strategic move enables Morph to access a unified pool of USDT liquidity spanning over 18 blockchains.

For developers focused on building payment applications, merchant solutions, or DeFi protocols within Morph, this integration allows immediate access to a substantial liquidity pool without the complexities tied to managing various token contracts.

No more bridges. No more wrapped tokens

Historically, utilizing USDT on a different blockchain necessitated the use of a bridge, which locks the original tokens and issues a new ‘wrapped’ variant on the target blockchain. This practice often leads to liquidity fragmentation and counterparty risks if a bridge fails. USDT0 offers a novel approach where it employs a burn-and-mint mechanism; tokens are burned on one chain and minted from Tether’s supply on another, preserving a single asset across all interconnected networks.

Benefits of USDT0 for Morph’s developers

While various Layer 2 solutions vie for DeFi activity, Morph is tailored for specific functionalities, primarily payments. Its design features rapid block times and zero-fee stablecoin transfers, focusing on merchant settlements, remittances, crypto card issuance, and treasury management.

Deep and seamless liquidity is vital for these use cases, and with a market cap exceeding $185 billion, USDT provides the most significant stablecoin liquidity in the crypto market.

With the USDT0 integration now live on Morph’s mainnet, developers can leverage a universal USDT offering, which simplifies cross-chain operations and reduces technical burdens, enabling:

• Payment applications to facilitate instant cross-border transactions with low overhead.
• DeFi protocols to tap into deeper liquidity without the need for multiple stablecoin variations.
• Merchant platforms to process stablecoin payments effortlessly.
• Financial institutions to manage treasury operations more predictably across various chains.

The synergy of USDT0’s consolidated liquidity and Morph’s payment-optimized infrastructure establishes a robust framework for the next generation of financial applications. Morph expresses excitement about collaborating with the USDT0 team to realize the vision of omnichain liquidity that renders stablecoins truly borderless.
