USDT0 Goes Live on Stellar, Connecting Unified Dollar Liquidity to the World's Most Accessible Network

ROAD TOWN, British Virgin Islands, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- USDT0, the infrastructure that brings the most widely used stablecoin Tether (USDT) to every network, is now live on Stellar, the world's most accessible network. This deployment connects one of the longest-running networks for real-world payments and cross-border finance directly into USDT0's growing borderless liquidity. As a result, Stellar now has access to a unified dollar asset, enabling stablecoin movement across networks without fragmentation, wrappers, or third-party bridges.

"Stellar has already proven its value as payments infrastructure," said Lorenzo Romagnoli, Co-Founder of USDT0. "USDT0 extends that utility by connecting Stellar to Tether's global dollar liquidity and making it available wherever users and capital need to move. That opens up a much bigger future for builders on Stellar: payment firms, fintechs, and treasury teams can serve global markets without rebuilding dollar liquidity network by network. Stellar becomes a stronger base for financial products designed to serve many different use cases and ecosystems."

Since launching in January 2025, the USDT0 Network has facilitated over $100 billion in total value moved across 29 connected blockchain ecosystems, reflecting sustained, production-scale usage of its unified liquidity model. Against that backdrop, Stellar was designed to move real value across borders. The network prioritizes predictable settlement, minimal fees, and support for issued assets, characteristics that have translated into years of real-world activity across payments, aid distribution, and consumer financial services.

"Stellar has been trusted to power cross-border payments for more than a decade and the addition of USDT0 to the Stellar ecosystem strengthens the network's industry-leading payments stack," said Denelle Dixon, CEO & Executive Director of the Stellar Development Foundation. "Together, the Stellar network and USDT0 are leading the way toward a global financial system where trillions will move onchain."

Built on LayerZero's OFT Standard, USDT0 does not introduce another bridged or wrapped representation. Instead, the deployment anchors USDT0 directly within Stellar's asset model while connecting it to the same unified liquidity framework used across other major ecosystems. USDT0 on Stellar is now available on BiLira Kripto, Bitget Wallet, Fireblocks, Freighter, Kraken, Kredete, Lobstr, Meru, Ramp Network, and SushiSwap, with additional partners such as Exodus expected to go live shortly.

For the Stellar ecosystem, this means:

- Unified liquidity: Access to the same global USDT liquidity layer shared across multiple chains.

- Seamless cross-chain movement: Stablecoin balances can move into and out of Stellar without custodial bridges or isolated pools.

- Simpler integrations for builders: Payment flows, DeFi applications, and treasury systems can be built around a single, consistent USDT asset.

In addition to introducing the world's most widely used stablecoin to Stellar, USDT0 advances how liquidity behaves across the ecosystem, making cross-chain movement a feature aligned with the network's focus on interoperability and practical onchain finance.

For more than a decade, Stellar has demonstrated that blockchains can support real financial activity at global scale, processing more than $40B so far in 2026. The integration connects Stellar's purpose-built design with the next phase of stablecoin infrastructure, combining unified liquidity with proven execution to support what stablecoins are becoming.

Pharmadialog: Diskussion über AMNOG-Änderungen positives Signal!

Berlin (ots)

Zur Fortsetzung des Pharmadialogs und die Diskussion um AMNOG 2.0 erklärt der BPI-Hauptgeschäftsführer Dr. Kai Joachimsen:

"Kritik am GKV-Beitragssatzstabilisierungsgesetz (BStabG) ist mehr als berechtigt. Gleichwohl ist es ein positives Signal, wenn sich das Bundesgesundheitsministerium jetzt mit erforderlichen Änderungen am AMNOG beschäftigt. Der BPI unterstützt das und wirkt daran mit. Wir müssen das AMNOG gemeinsam weiterentwickeln, und bürokratische Belastungen im Verfahren abbauen. Allerdings dürfen die Gespräche und Verhandlungen darüber die Folgen der US-amerikanischen Pharmapolitik sowie des BStabG nicht ausblenden. Die dort beschlossenen Sparmaßnahmen stehen in einem deutlichen Spannungsverhältnis zur langfristigen Sicherung von Innovation und Patientenzugang. Es wird deshalb nicht ausreichen, AMNOG-Anpassungen zu diskutieren, während sich die Rahmenbedingungen für Markteinführung und Verfügbarkeit von Innovationen verschlechtern.

Aus BPI-Sicht sind mit Blick auf den AMNOG-Prozess folgende Punkte wichtig: bessere Anerkennung besonderer Therapiesituationen und bestverfügbarer Evidenz in der Zusatznutzenbewertung, mehr Verlässlichkeit bei Beratungen zur zweckmäßigen Vergleichstherapie mit der zusätzlichen regelhaften Abfrage relevanter Endpunkte bei den Fachgesellschaften sowie eine EU-HTA-Umsetzung, die Doppelarbeit vermeidet und Synergien nutzt. Nur so kann Bürokratieabbau mit Innovationsförderung, Planungssicherheit und dem schnellen Zugang von Patientinnen und Patienten zu innovativen Arzneimitteln gegen häufige und seltene Erkrankungen verbunden werden."

NEW YORK, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- All-terrain riding is evolving. A ride that begins on pavement can quickly move onto gravel, steep climbs, dirt or trails. As riders explore beyond fixed routes, all-terrain capability is becoming less about handling one type of extreme environment and more about being ready for whatever terrain comes next.

ENGWE today officially launches the E26 3.0, its latest answer to that shift and the most powerful all-terrain force in the ENGWE lineup. Built around the idea "The Future of ATB, Powered by Dual Motors," the E26 3.0 combines dual-motor performance, full suspension and long-range capability to give riders greater confidence when the terrain changes.

The Future of ATB, Powered by Dual Motors

More power alone does not define a better all-terrain ride. What matters is how that power translates into greater capability, control and confidence as the terrain changes.

The ENGWE E26 3.0 uses selectable single- and dual-motor modes to balance everyday efficiency with more demanding riding. Single-motor mode supports smooth, efficient performance on everyday roads and longer journeys, while dual-motor mode delivers additional drive, traction and climbing capability when riders encounter steep hills, loose gravel, sand or challenging trails. By distributing power across both wheels, the system also helps maintain greater stability and control over demanding surfaces, creating a more composed riding experience when conditions become unpredictable.

Built as the Most Powerful All-Terrain Force

- 2,000W Peak Dual-Motor Power & 160Nm Torque: Delivers acceleration and climbing capability across demanding terrain.

- Up to 100 Miles of Range: A 960Wh battery supports longer exploration in single-motor mode.

- Full Suspension: 120mm front and 80mm rear travel provide control and comfort over uneven surfaces.

- 26 × 4.0-inch Fat Tires: Provide stability and grip across pavement, gravel, dirt, sand and trails.

- 400-lb Payload Capacity: Adds versatility for cargo and outdoor adventures.

Power matters most when it gives riders more choice, said an ENGWE spokesperson. With the E26 3.0, ENGWE wanted to build an all-terrain e-bike that makes riders ask not 'Can my bike go there?' but simply, 'Where do I want to go next?'

Availability

The ENGWE E26 3.0 is available from September 2 at $1,799 (regularly $2,399). Launch purchases through September 27 also include a complimentary accessory gift valued at $99. To learn more about the E26 3.0 and explore the launch offer, visit ENGWE's official website.
