Tether đưa stablecoin USAT tuân thủ Đạo luật GENIUS lên Celo, mạng chiếm 28% giao dịch chuyển USDT toàn cầu với vốn hóa USAT đạt 185 triệu USD.
Theo thông báo hôm thứ Tư, stablecoin USAT tuân thủ quy định của Mỹ do Tether phát hành đang được triển khai trên Celo, đánh dấu lần ra mắt thứ hai của đồng tiền này trên mạng chính, sau mạng chính Ethereum. Token sẽ có chức năng phát hành và đốt token trực tiếp trên blockchain, đồng thời có thể được sử dụng để thanh toán phí gas trên mạng, nhờ cơ chế trừu tượng hóa phí mà Celo đã triển khai thông qua bản nâng cấp CIP-64, cho phép sử dụng token ERC-20 làm tài sản thanh toán phí gas.
“Việc mở rộng USAT sang Celo là một quyết định có chủ đích,” Bo Hines, Tổng giám đốc điều hành Tether US, cho biết trong một tuyên bố, nhấn mạnh rằng USAT được thiết kế để hoạt động trong những môi trường mà đồng USD số đã được sử dụng ở quy mô lớn như hệ sinh thái Celo. Hai công ty đã công bố kế hoạch triển khai trên Celo vào tháng 3, trước thời điểm chính thức đưa token vào hoạt động hôm nay.
Vị thế của Celo trong hệ sinh thái Tether
Celo đã nổi lên như mạng lưới phân phối hàng đầu đối với stablecoin USDT chủ lực của Tether, trở thành mạng có số lượng người dùng hoạt động hằng tuần lớn nhất của USDT sau đợt triển khai năm 2024. Thông báo cho biết Celo chiếm 28% tổng số giao dịch chuyển USDT xuyên blockchain và duy trì hơn 90% thị phần đối với XAUt0, phiên bản đa chuỗi của Tether Gold.
Theo dữ liệu của Tether, khoảng 470 triệu USD USDT đã được “phê duyệt phát hành” trên Celo, đưa mạng này trở thành blockchain lớn thứ tám của token xét theo vốn hóa thị trường, dù các nguồn dữ liệu khác cho rằng tổng nguồn cung stablecoin đang lưu hành trên Celo chỉ vào khoảng 136 triệu USD, trong đó Tether chiếm 57,6% thị phần, tương đương 78,8 triệu USD.
USAT được ra mắt vào tháng 1 và đã đạt vốn hóa thị trường 185 triệu USD, so với 180 tỷ USD của USDT, theo dữ liệu của The Block.
Token này được thiết kế để tuân thủ Đạo luật GENIUS về stablecoin tại Mỹ, bao gồm yêu cầu duy trì tỷ lệ dự trữ 1:1 bằng tiền mặt hoặc các tài sản tương đương tiền có tính thanh khoản cao và chất lượng cao, chẳng hạn như trái phiếu Kho bạc Mỹ, và được phát hành bởi Anchorage Digital Bank, ngân hàng chuyên về tài sản mã hóa đầu tiên được cấp điều lệ hoạt động ở cấp liên bang và chịu sự quản lý của Văn phòng Kiểm soát Tiền tệ Mỹ (OCC).
Celo được thành lập vào năm 2017 và ra mắt mạng chính dưới dạng một blockchain lớp 1 tối ưu cho thiết bị di động và tiết kiệm năng lượng vào Ngày Trái Đất năm 2020, trước khi hoàn tất quá trình chuyển đổi thành blockchain lớp 2 của Ethereum được xây dựng trên OP Stack vào tháng 3/2025, nhằm tăng cường bảo mật, khả năng mở rộng và khả năng tương tác.
Theo thông báo, trình duyệt Internet Opera đã ra mắt ví stablecoin tự lưu ký trên Celo với sự hỗ trợ của Tether và được cho là đã thu hút hơn 18 triệu người dùng trên toàn cầu.
