Tether Launches Dirham-Pegged Stablecoin
Tether stablecoin pegged to the UAE dirham will launch on The Open Network (TON) blockchain.
At the TON Gateway event in Dubai, Tether’s Senior Strategic Partnership Manager, Alessandro Giori, announced the plans to launch a dirham-pegged stablecoin on the TON blockchain.
In August, Tether formed a partnership with UAE-based Phoenix Group and Green Acorn Investments to create this dirham-backed stablecoin, which will be fully supported by liquid reserves held in the UAE.
This initiative aligns with the recent regulatory framework established by UAE authorities on June 3 for overseeing and licensing dirham-pegged stablecoins.
