Tether Launches USDT on Kaia Blockchain with LINE

LINE NEXT and Kaia have partnered with Tether to bring USDT directly into the hands of millions of users across Asia. The move makes stablecoin payments and transfers available inside the LINE Messenger app, connecting over 190 million users to web3 services through Kaia’s blockchain. By combining an established messaging platform with blockchain-powered payments, the partnership sets up an easy entry point for users who may be new to digital finance.

Good to know

• USDT is now supported natively on the Kaia blockchain.
• LINE Messenger users can access DeFi and crypto payments inside the app.
• Tether sees this integration as a way to expand stablecoin use across Asia.

Through this partnership, USDT becomes fully integrated with LINE’s in-app wallet, allowing users to send and receive money, make payments in mini decentralized apps, and access DeFi tools—all without leaving the messenger interface.

LINE NEXT, the web3 division of LINE, is focused on making crypto activity easier for everyday users. With this integration, the company hopes to place stablecoins at the center of how people interact digitally, especially when it comes to peer-to-peer transactions and reward systems.

Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, said, “Tether’s native launch on Kaia is another step toward making stablecoins accessible to millions of mainstream users.”

LINE has long been a key communication platform in Asia, and this update adds a layer of financial interaction that fits smoothly within an already familiar space. The collaboration also strengthens Kaia’s position in Asia’s growing crypto infrastructure.

Dr. Sam Seo, Chairman of Kaia DLT Foundation, added, “Tether’s decision to natively launch USDT on Kaia will accelerate the spread of high-end USD-backed stablecoins in Asia.”
