Tether Moves Its $184 Billion Stablecoin Back to Bitcoin

Original: Tether Brings Its $184 Billion Stablecoin Back to Bitcoin: Will BTC Regain Its Role as a Payments Network?

Tether is bringing its roughly $184 billion stablecoin, USDT, back to the Bitcoin network, reviving the question of whether Bitcoin can serve again as a payments rail. Observers are weighing what the move means for transaction fees, Lightning Network adoption, and competition from cheaper blockchains where most stablecoin activity currently takes place.

Why now: Tether's shift back to Bitcoin raises fresh debate about Bitcoin's viability as a payments network rather than just a store of value.
