Kraken has officially launched support for deposits and withdrawals of USDT0 on the Tempo network, marking it as the first major US exchange to do so. This integration allows clients to transfer stablecoins with sub-second settlement times while paying transaction fees directly in USD stablecoins, eliminating the need for separate gas tokens. Tempo, a Layer 1 blockchain developed by Paradigm and Stripe, is designed specifically for efficient payments and offers deterministic settlement in approximately 0.6 seconds. The network is optimized for low fees, even during high traffic, making it ideal for various applications such as cross-border payments and institutional transactions. USDT0, Tether's omnichain version of USDT, facilitates fast and cost-effective dollar-denominated transactions. While trading via Kraken's app will be available once liquidity conditions are met, clients are advised to ensure they deposit tokens into supported networks to avoid loss. Kraken has also indicated that more assets may be added in the future, although specific details will not be disclosed until closer to their launch.
