The stablecoin issuer Tether has revealed the timetable for sunsetting its support for USDT and EURT on multiple blockchain networks.
<a href="https://crypto.news/tag/tether/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Tether</a>, the largest stablecoin issuer by market capitalization, announced in a Thursday blog announcement it will no longer be obligated to accept redemption of stablecoins USDT or EURT on Omni, Kusama, SLP, EOS and Algorand as of September 1, 2025.
Tether says the decision to cease support is part of the company’s efforts our to allocate resources where they can “best enhance security and efficiency while supporting ongoing innovation across the crypto landscape.” In addition to halting redemptions, Tether will freeze all remaining USDT and EURT on these networks on the same date, advising users to redeem their holdings “as soon as possible.”

Tether initially <a href="https://crypto.news/tether-to-decommission-usdt-on-algorand-and-eos/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announced</a> changes to its supported blockchain networks in mid-June, citing a focus on balancing maintainability, usage, and community interest as the reason behind the move. Besides the aforementioned networks, Tether also supports its stablecoins on Ethereum, TRON, Solana, and Tezos, among others.
According to data from DefiLlama, Tether’s USDT stablecoin holds a 69% share of the stablecoin market, valued at $112.3 billion.
The decision to cease support on multiple networks comes as Tether <a href="https://crypto.news/tethers-euro-stablecoin-lags-behind-circles-eurc-for-the-third-straight-month/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">faces challenges</a> in Europe.
