He also called on the stock exchanges and cryptographs to support the initiative. At the moment, a number of large platforms, including Bitfinex, OKEx, Gate.io and Huobi, have announced their readiness to add a new token to their platforms.

In addition, as Justin Sun said, the first investors will receive a reward for converting USDT on Bitcoin or Ethereum blockchains in the TRC-20 standard USDT – 20 million USDT will be distributed as additional interest payments within 100 days.

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.
