UniSat plans USDT wallet support

EconoTimes reported on October 16, 2026, that UniSat Wallet is planned to support USDT transfers in both directions and swaps on Bitcoin. The report said the wallet would also handle the sending and receiving of RGB assets, a token format that uses client-side validation so transaction details can remain with the parties involved rather than being fully recorded on the public ledger.

The planned integration is connected to Utexo, a Tether-backed infrastructure project. According to crypto.news, Utexo planned to begin issuing USDT on Bitcoin in October 2026 through a commercial license, with Bitcoin mainnet support before a later Lightning Network stage. Lightning is a payment layer designed to process transactions away from Bitcoin main-chain blocks.
