Recall, Tether and Tron announced a partnership in early March. As Tether CEO Jean-Louis van der Velde said at the time, Tron-USDT will be the next step in the company's development and demonstrates its commitment to spreading innovation in the cryptocurrency space and striving to meet the needs of the community formed around digital assets.
