Tether Launches Dirham-Pegged Stablecoin

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.
