Bybit and Mantle Network Pioneer Unified Cross-Chain USDT Liquidity with USDT0 Support

Bybit has officially announced support for USDT0 on the Mantle Network, marking a significant step towards seamless, cross-chain stablecoin transfers. This integration establishes Mantle as the largest exchange-linked Layer 2 (L2) network.

Key Highlights of the Partnership:

• Unified Liquidity Standard: The collaboration aims to position Bybit and Mantle at the forefront of unified stablecoin liquidity infrastructure by adopting USDT0, Tether’s omnichain stablecoin standard.
• What is USDT0? USDT0 functions as a “unified liquidity layer” across multiple networks. Built on LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard, it utilizes a mint-and-burn architecture to guarantee a precise 1:1 backing, eliminating fragmented “wrapped” stablecoin variations. This direct transfer method is intended to revolutionize stablecoin movement.
• User Benefits:
  • For a limited time, Bybit users will experience zero-fee USDT0 withdrawals to the Mantle Network.
  • The integration provides consumers with more reliable and effective access to Tether-based liquidity.
  • Mantle Network will offer quick, inexpensive USDT0 transfers for users.
  • It facilitates efficient capital deployment into Mantle-native apps and provides direct access to Bybit marketplaces for settlement.
• Strategic Vision: This early coordination among Bybit (a global liquidity venue), Mantle (a top exchange-linked L2), and the USDT0 liquidity infrastructure is seen as a strategic move to build the next stage of cross-chain stablecoin infrastructure. It signals a broader industry shift toward institutional-grade asset movement, tokenization, and DeFi infrastructure.

Emily Bao, Key Advisor at Mantle, emphasized that supporting USDT0 early strengthens Mantle’s role as a core venue for cross-chain stablecoin liquidity. Lorenzo R., Co-Founder at USDT0, added that the partnership enhances user experience and accelerates multi-chain adoption.

The integration ultimately unifies cross-chain flows, on-chain applications, and centralized liquidity into a seamless user experience, with USDT0 serving as a centralized liquidity hub for trading and portfolio management.
