Fact Check
The claim is strongly supported by Tether’s official announcement, “Tether Launches tether.wallet, the People’s Wallet, Extending its Global Financial Infrastructure Directly to Billions of Users Left Behind by the Traditional Financial System - Tether.io.” That source explicitly describes tether.wallet as a self-custodial digital wallet, says it makes Tether’s global financial infrastructure directly accessible to end users, and lists support for USD₮, XAU₮, and Bitcoin across multiple blockchain networks, plus USA₮ on Ethereum. The PANews article “Tether推出自托管钱包tether.wallet | PANews” independently restates the same details and links back to the Tether release. The wording “payments infrastructure” in the user statement is a fair paraphrase of Tether’s official language about liquidity, settlement, and payments infrastructure, though the statement is slightly incomplete because the official announcement also mentions USA₮ support.
