Bitcoin Cash is a hard fork of Bitcoin with a protocol upgrade to fix on-chain capacity. Bitcoin Cash intends to be a Bitcoin without Segregated Witness (SegWit) as soft fork, where upgrades of the protocol are done mainly through hard forks and without changing the original economic rules of the Bitcoin. Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is released on 1st August 2017 as an upgraded version of the original Bitcoin Core software. The main upgrade is the increase in the block size limit from 1MB to 8MB. This effectively allows miners on the BCH chain to process up to 8 times more payments per second in comparison to Bitcoin. This makes for faster, cheaper transactions and a much smoother user experience. Why was Bitcoin Cash Created? The main objective of Bitcoin Cash is to to bring back the essential qualities of money inherent in the original Bitcoin software. Over the years, these qualities were filtered out of Bitcoin Core and progress was stifled by various people, organizations, and companies involved in Bitcoin protocol development. The result is that Bitcoin Core is currently unusable as money due to increasingly high fees per transactions and transfer times taking hours to complete. This is all because of the 1MB limitation of Bitcoin Core’s block size, causing it unable to accommodate to large number of transactions. Essentially Bitcoin Cash is a community-activated upgrade (otherwise known as a hard fork) of Bitcoin that increased the block size to 8MB, solving the scaling issues that plague Bitcoin Core today.

Tether, the company behind the world’s largest stablecoin USDT, has discarded its plans to completely sunset USDT operations on five blockchains—Omni Layer, Bitcoin Cash SLP, Kusama, EOS, and Algorand. The crypto company announced the initial plan to disable its stablecoin support on these legacy chains in July, citing a shift in its business strategy. Tether justified this earlier decision with the claim of aligning its operations with the current shift in user behavior and increased focus on more scalable, actively developed blockchain networks. Also, the dwindling activity on some of these ecosystems was highlighted as one of the reasons behind freezing USDT operations. At the time, Tether advised customers with their USDT holdings on Omni Layer, Algorand, and the other affected blockchains to redeem their stablecoins before the September 1, 2025, deadline. However, it appears that these users won’t need to do this anymore following the issuer’s latest decision. What Did Tether Change In Its Plan? In a media release on its website, Tether disclosed that investors with USDT holdings on the five legacy blockchains will no longer have to redeem their coins before the September 1 deadline. While these ecosystems will stop supporting the USDT issuance and redemption, the revised plan will now allow users to transfer their USDT stablecoins across other blockchains. The media release read: Following the feedback from the communities of these discontinued blockchains, Tether has revised this approach and will not freeze the smart contracts on these networks. While users will still be able to transfer the tokens between wallets, Tether will discontinue direct issuance and redemption on these blockchains. This means the tokens will no longer be officially supported as other Tether tokens. According to the crypto company, this revised plan correlates with the broader strategy to expand support for crypto ecosystems with strong developer activity, scalability, and user demand. “Tether remains committed to a smooth transition and will continue to engage with the community to ensure transparency and clarity throughout this process,” the stablecoin issuer added. Tron and Ethereum lead the blockchain pack in terms of USDT adoption, with $80.9 billion and $72.4 billion of the Tether stablecoins circulating in their ecosystems. Meanwhile, the BNB Chain boasts the third-largest USDT supply worth around $6.78 billion. USDT Market Cap As of this writing, the total market capitalization of Tether’s USDT stands at roughly $167.4 billion, according to data from CoinGecko.

Stablecoin issuer Tether has announced that it will halt its previous plans to freeze USDT on five blockchains. According to the stablecoin firm, the plan to freeze USDT smart contracts on the five chains will be paused, noting that it will only remain transferable on these chains but can no longer be issued or redeemed on them. The revised plan is expected to affect chains like Omni Layer, Algorand, EOS, Bitcoin Cash SLP, Kusama, Tether said. The company said the development was born out of the feedback that it received from members of these ecosystems. “Following the feedback from the communities of these discontinued blockchains, Tether has revised this approach and will not freeze the smart contracts on these networks.” Tether suspends plan to freeze USDT on five blockchains According to Tether, while users can still transfer tokens on these blockchains, it will discontinue direct issuance and redemption on these chains. “This means the tokens will no longer be officially supported as other Tether tokens,” the company said . The initial plan was to end support for users on these chains on September 1. The decision is in line with Tether’s broader strategy to remain focused on expanding support for crypto ecosystems, adding strong developer activity, scalability, and use demand without completely abandoning the chains it has supported for a long time. According to Tether, only a small smart contract-based layer–1 blockchains have been able to successfully achieve large-scale user adoption while offering practical uses, such as Tron and Ethereum. Tron and Ethereum are the two chains that Tether supports the most. Tron boasts $80 billion, while Ethereum has $72 billion worth of USDT circulating supply. Meanwhile, BNB Chain rounds up the top three, boasting $6.78 billion, according to data from DeFiLlama. Solana and other Ethereum layer-2 chains, Arbitrum and Base, are among the other successful crypto ecosystems with good stablecoin activity, though they use Circle’s USDC stablecoins rather than USDT. Omni Layer will be the most affected chain A review of USDT balances across the affected blockchains shows that Omni Layer will be the most affected, considering it holds a net circulation of $82.9 million USDT. Other networks boast smaller participation, with EOS seeing $4.2 million, while Bitcoin Cash SLP and the others boast a little under $1 million worth of USDT. Tether mentioned that the decision to pull its weight from these chains has been in the works for about two years. In August 2023, the company announced it would no longer issue USDT on Omni Layer, Kusama, and Bitcoin Cash SLP. In June 2024, Tether stopped minting on EOS and Algorand. The total market cap of stablecoins is currently around $285.9 billion, with USDT and USDC leading at $167.4 billion and $71 billion, respectively, according to data from CoinGecko. Last Month, United States President Donald Trump signed the GENIUS Act into law, with many analysts noting that it will help the US dollar’s dominance by promoting stablecoins pegged to the dollar, rivaling other currencies, and reinforcing the dollar’s role as the world’s leading reserve currency. The United States Department of the Treasury expected the stablecoin market to grow to $2 trillion by 2028. “The entire crypto community, for years, you were mocked and dismissed and counted out, you were counted out as little as a year and a half ago, but this signing is a massive validation … of your hard work and your pioneering spirit,” said Trump.

Quick Highlights Tether halts issuance/redemption on 5 blockchains by Sept 2025 Smart contracts stay active, allowing wallet-to-wallet transfers Company shifts focus to scalable networks and Bitcoin-native solutions Tether Updates Transition Plan for Legacy Blockchains On August 29, 2025, Tether — the world’s largest stablecoin issuer announced an update to its transition plan affecting five legacy blockchains: Omni Layer, Bitcoin Cash SLP, Kusama, EOS, and Algorand. From Freeze to Flexibility In July 2024, Tether said it would stop buying back and freeze USDT on these networks starting September 1, 2025. Following feedback from user communities, the company adjusted its approach: smart contracts will not be frozen. This means users will still be able to transfer USDT between wallets on these blockchains. However, new issuance and redemption of tokens will stop, effectively ending official company support for them. Strategic Refocus on High-Activity Ecosystems Tether explained the decision as part of its broader strategy to concentrate on ecosystems with strong developer activity, scalability, and user demand. The company emphasized: “Tether remains committed to a smooth transition and will continue to engage with the community to provide transparency and clarity throughout this process.” Expansion Through Bitcoin-Based Protocols Just a day earlier, Tether announced the launch of USDT on the RGB protocol , a new layer-two solution for issuing digital assets on Bitcoin. This will allow users to hold the stablecoin natively alongside BTC in compatible wallets, expanding utility and adoption. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino noted: “The first cryptocurrency network deserves a native stablecoin.”
