Tether Achieves AFRT Recognition in ADGM
Tether, a leading company in the digital assets space, announced that USD₮ has been recognized as an Accepted Fiat-Referenced Token (AFRT) within Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). This recognition allows Authorised Persons licensed by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) to conduct regulated activities involving USD₮.
USD₮ is now approved on several blockchains, including Aptos, Celo, Cosmos, Kaia, Near, Polkadot, Tezos, TON, and TRON. This builds on earlier recognition on Ethereum, Solana, and Avalanche. The wide multi-chain presence highlights Tether’s dedication to resilience, transparency, and compliance-driven operations.
By securing AFRT status, Tether enables regulated participants in ADGM to offer broader financial services using USD₮. It strengthens the stablecoin’s position as a reliable and compliant asset across global blockchain networks.
Expanding Access and Interoperability
The approval allows access to funds while ensuring regulation. The interoperability across the financial sector has been improved by multi-chain recognition. The AFRT requirements will be followed while the USD₮ qualifies to be a settlement asset for trade and De-Fi applications.
Tether’s collaboration with ADGM fits the UAE’s plan to leverage blockchain in its financial structure. It promotes liquidity, diversity in infrastructure, and an innovation process that is compliant and well-regulated. The institutions and people in the UAE will be able to utilize a stable global coin that has a trustworthy regulatory framework.
