Tether – the world's largest digital asset issuer – today launched "The People's Wallet," a self-custodial crypto wallet solution that allows users to hold and send USDT, USAT, XAUT and bitcoin across multiple blockchains. 

### What's the Scoop?
- **Mainstream Focus:** The *tether.wallet – *dubbed “The People’s Wallet” – is a self-custodial app that lets users hold and send Tether stablecoins (USDT and USAT), Tether tokenized gold (XAUT), and BTC across multiple chains. The wallet removes friction by letting users pay transaction fees in the asset they’re sending, eliminating the need to juggle native gas tokens. It also empowers users to send funds using @tether.me identifiers, replacing long wallet text strings with something closer to a fintech UX.
- **Notable Exclusions:** Although 45% of circulating USDT tokens exist on the Tron, *tether.wallet *is not compatible with the blockchain network. Some crypto commentators have [questioned](https://x.com/DefiIgnas/status/2044041526406459795) the decision to exclude Tron, and note that Tether's wallet lacks fiat on/offboarding functionality.
