Overview
- ADGM’s FSRA recognized USDT as an Accepted Fiat‑Referenced Token across Aptos, Celo, Cosmos, Kaia, Near, Polkadot, Tezos, TON and TRON.
- The designation expands earlier permissions that covered only Ethereum, Solana and Avalanche within the ADGM framework.
- FSRA‑licensed firms inside ADGM can now support regulated trading, custody and settlement using USDT across the newly approved networks.
- The update complements recent ADGM actions, including recognition of Ripple’s RLUSD, Circle’s Money Services Provider FSP, and Binance’s full authorization to begin regulated operations on January 5, 2026.
- Tether framed the approval as reinforcing stablecoins’ role in modern finance, highlighting increased interoperability for institutional use and decentralized applications under supervision.
