Anchorage دیجیتال روی LayerZero برای ریل های استیبل کوین ضربه می زند

Anchorage Digital has selected LayerZero as its preferred interoperability partner for bank-issued stablecoins, with the Sept. 21 announcement naming Tether’s USAT as the first token to use LayerZero’s OFT standard. Summary Anchorage Digital selected LayerZero to provide interoperability for stablecoins issued through its federally chartered bank. USAT is the first Anchorage-issued stablecoin launching with LayerZero’s OFT interoperability standard for cross-chain transfers. LayerZero says its OFT standard can connect assets across more than 170 supported blockchain networks. USDPT, USDGO and fUSD are among Anchorage-issued stablecoins expected to gain LayerZero interoperability over time. Anchorage remains supervised by the OCC, which granted its national trust bank charter in 2021. LayerZero said stablecoins issued through Anchorage Digital Bank, N.A. will use its cross-chain infrastructure as the companies develop connections spanning Ethereum, EVM-compatible networks and Solana. The partnership covers Anchorage’s issuance platform, which currently supports tokens linked to Tether, Western Union, OSL Group and Falcon Finance. This means US-regulated stablecoins issued through Anchorage Digital's platform, including Tether's USAT, Western Union's USDPT, and OSL Group's USDGO, can now be connected to 170+ chains, powered by LayerZero's OFT standard. pic.twitter.com/asFdZKy1EG — LayerZero (@LayerZero_Core) September 21, 2026 You might also like: Anchorage Digital expands custody to Etherlink and tokenized uranium Anchorage Digital makes LayerZero its stablecoin rail Under the arrangement, LayerZero will serve as what the companies describe as the “preferred interoperability layer” for eligible stablecoins issued by Anchorage Digital Bank. The bank remains responsible for regulated issuance, while LayerZero supplies the messaging and token infrastructure needed to connect supported blockchain deployments. LayerZero’s OFT, or Omnichain Fungible Token, standard lets issuers maintain a unified token supply while extending an asset to multiple blockchains. LayerZero explains that issuers retain control over their token contracts and can decide which chains to support, along with the security configuration used for cross-chain messages. The company says its infrastructure currently reaches more than 170 blockchains. In a separate September update, LayerZero reported that its OFT standard had processed $280 billion in lifetime transfers and handled 87% of cross-chain transfer volume. Both figures are LayerZero’s own network statistics. Access to 170-plus networks does not mean each Anchorage stablecoin will immediately trade on every connected chain. OFT issuers select individual deployments and configure pathways between supported networks. LayerZero’s announcement says future Anchorage-issued assets “will be designed to move seamlessly” across leading ecosystems but does not provide a deployment schedule for each token. USAT becomes the first Anchorage-issued OFT token Tether’s USAT is the first stablecoin in Anchorage Digital Bank’s issuance portfolio confirmed to launch with LayerZero interoperability. Tether introduced the U.S.-regulated dollar token in January, with Anchorage Digital Bank serving as issuer under the federal stablecoin framework. Tether itself is not the legal issuer of USAT.
