LayerZero selected for Anchorage stablecoins spanning 170 blockchains and $280 billion

  • Anchorage Digital selected LayerZero as interoperability partner for regulated stablecoins.
  • USAT is the first live token using LayerZero’s OFT standard.
  • USDPT and USDGO are expected later; rollout does not cover every chain immediately.

Anchorage Digital has selected LayerZero as its interoperability partner for stablecoins issued through Anchorage Digital Bank, N.A., making cross-chain infrastructure part of its regulated issuance platform. Tether’s USAT is the first Anchorage-issued stablecoin confirmed to use LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token, or OFT, standard. LayerZero says OFT has processed approximately $280 billion in lifetime transfers across more than 170 blockchains and represents about 87% of cross-chain transfer volume, although those figures are company-reported. The broader LayerZero connectivity footprint does not mean every Anchorage-issued token is already live on every supported network. Western Union’s USDPT and OSL Group’s USDGO are expected to follow, while Falcon Finance’s fUSD is also covered by the agreement. The partnership comes as regulated stablecoin issuers seek unified cross-chain distribution and U.S. agencies continue implementing the GENIUS Act’s reserve, redemption and compliance requirements.
