The announcement was shared by the Phoenix Group, a crypto media on the X platform, on Sunday. According to the report, the impending disconnection is scheduled to take place in the next two months, particularly in September 2025.
This strategic shift by Tether tends to phase out chains that no longer meet the changing technical or community standards of the stablecoin issuer. In addition, it reflects the firm’s increased focus on preserving liquidity and security throughout its ecosystems.
As stated in the report, Tether’s decision to cut ties with these key chains comes after a strategic infrastructure evaluation and represents a move toward more utilized and scalable networks. Prior to the September deadline, the firm has urged users holding USDT on the affected chains to redeem or migrate their tokens to other supported chains. Failure to do so before then is likely to lead to loss of funds and assets.
