Tether stablecoin operator is strengthening ties with Telegram’s Web3 ecosystem by launching its stablecoins like Tether (USDT) on The Open Network (TON).

Tether 稳定币运营商正在通过在开放网络 (TON) 上推出 Tether (USDT) 等稳定币来加强与 Telegram 的 Web3 生态系统的联系。

Tether Operations announced on April 19 the launch of its U.S. dollar-pegged Tether USDT stablecoin and the gold-pegged Tether Gold (XAUT) stablecoin on the TON blockchain.

Tether Operations 于 4 月 19 日宣布在 TON 区块链上推出与美元挂钩的 Tether USDT 稳定币和与黄金挂钩的 Tether Gold (XAUT) 稳定币。

The announcement came in conjunction with Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino and Telegram founder Pavel Durov’s keynote speeches at the crypto event Token2049 in Dubai.

这一消息是在 Tether 首席执行官 Paolo Ardoino 和 Telegram 创始人 Pavel Durov 在迪拜加密货币活动 Token2049 上发表主题演讲的同时发布的。

At the same event, Tether also announced restructuring and introduced four new business divisions: Tether Data, Tether Finance, Tether Power and Tether Edu.

在同一活动中，Tether 还宣布重组，并推出四个新的业务部门：Tether Data、Tether Finance、Tether Power 和 Tether Edu。

According to Ardoino, TON and Tether share the vision of an open and decentralized internet and a borderless financial system.

Ardoino 表示，TON 和 Tether 拥有开放、去中心化的互联网和无国界金融体系的共同愿景。

“The launch of USDT and XAUT on TON will allow seamless value transfer, increasing activity and liquidity while offering users a financial experience that can match those found in the traditional financial system,” the Tether CEO stated.

Tether 首席执行官表示：“在 TON 上推出 USDT 和 XAUT 将实现无缝价值转移，增加活动和流动性，同时为用户提供可与传统金融系统相媲美的金融体验。”

The new USDT-TON development marks another milestone in Tether’s expansion across multiple blockchains, bringing its coverage to 15 blockchains, including Tron and Ethereum.

新的 USDT-TON 开发标志着 Tether 跨多个区块链扩张的又一个里程碑，将其覆盖范围扩大到 15 个区块链，包括 Tron 和以太坊。

The milestone is also essential for the TON network, which overtook Dogecoin (DOGE) as the ninth-largest blockchain and cryptocurrency by market value on April 16.

这一里程碑对于 TON 网络也至关重要，该网络于 4 月 16 日超越狗狗币 (DOGE)，成为按市值计算第九大区块链和加密货币。

“The TON blockchain works with Telegram, meaning USDT and XAUT on TON have the potential to provide a simple, borderless experience for peer-to-peer payments for Telegram’s user base which Telegram estimates at over 900 million global users,” the announcement reads.

公告称：“TON 区块链与 Telegram 合作，这意味着 TON 上的 USDT 和 XAUT 有潜力为 Telegram 用户群提供简单、无边界的点对点支付体验，Telegram 估计全球用户超过 9 亿。”

The unique thing about USDT’s launch on TON is that the TON ecosystem enables transfers between fiat and crypto and has ambitions to beat traditional finance in efficiency and ease of use, TON Foundation’s marketing head, Jack Booth, told Cointelegraph. He said:

TON 基金会营销主管 Jack Booth 告诉 Cointelegraph，USDT 在 TON 上推出的独特之处在于，TON 生态系统支持法定货币和加密货币之间的转账，并有志在效率和易用性方面击败传统金融。他说：

“With built-in on-ramps for fiat at the launch and global off-ramps to bank cards and accounts coming soon. This will be the first time a mass audience will be able to use crypto infrastructure for global payments.”

“在推出时内置了法定货币入口，而银行卡和账户的全球出口也即将推出。这将是大众第一次能够使用加密基础设施进行全球支付。”

USDT’s launch on the TON blockchain isn’t the first instance of the two ecosystems intersecting. Since at least 2023, USDT has been one of the default cryptocurrencies available on Wallet, a third-party custodial wallet available to Telegram users, alongside other coins like Bitcoin (BTC) and Toncoin (TON).

USDT 在 TON 区块链上的推出并不是两个生态系统交叉的第一个实例。至少自 2023 年以来，USDT 一直是 Wallet 上提供的默认加密货币之一，Wallet 是 Telegram 用户可用的第三方托管钱包，与比特币 (BTC) 和 Toncoin (TON) 等其他货币一样。

At the time of writing, the Tron network is the default blockchain available for USDT on Wallet, enabling TRC-20 USDT. According to Halil Mirakhmed, chief operating officer of Wallet in Telegram, TON-based USDT will become another option on Wallet, while TRC20 USDT will stay.

截至撰写本文时，Tron 网络是钱包上 USDT 可用的默认区块链，支持 TRC-20 USDT。 Telegram Wallet 首席运营官 Halil Mirakhmed 表示，基于 TON 的 USDT 将成为 Wallet 上的另一个选择，而 TRC20 USDT 将保留。

The Tron blockchain accounts for the biggest share of issued USDT at the time of the announcement, according to data from Tether transparency.

根据 Tether 透明度的数据，截至公告发布时，Tron 区块链占已发行 USDT 的最大份额。

The news comes a few weeks after Tether launched a recovery tool allowing users to migrate USDT between different blockchains in March 2024. Previously, Tether’s USDT stablecoin crossed an all-time high market cap of $100 billion on March 4.

几周前，Tether 于 2024 年 3 月推出了恢复工具，允许用户在不同区块链之间迁移 USDT。此前，Tether 的 USDT 稳定币于 3 月 4 日突破了 1000 亿美元的历史新高。
