Tether Unveils New Stablecoin Tied to UAE Dirham
Tether is launching a new stablecoin pegged to the UAE Dirham (AED), fully supported by UAE-based reserves.
This move is set to provide users with a stable financial tool and enhance liquidity in the crypto market.
The stablecoin, developed in collaboration with Phoenix Group PLC and Green Acorn Investments Ltd., will be integrated into Tether’s existing lineup, which includes several other stablecoins.
The AED-backed token aims to facilitate international transactions, lower fees, and offer protection against currency fluctuations.

This initiative reflects Tether’s strategy to expand its presence in the UAE, a region known for its supportive stance on cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. Dubai, in particular, has emerged as a significant hub for crypto activities, supported by local regulatory advancements.
The introduction of this stablecoin could potentially influence broader market dynamics, including Bitcoin prices, given Tether’s historical impact. As the stablecoin market continues to grow, with overall supply reaching new highs, Tether’s new product is expected to contribute to this trend.
