\nUSDT supply is near $190 billion, making it the largest stablecoin by market cap.<\/p>\n

Peter Thiel-backed fintech Ramp has added support for Tether\u2019s USDT across its product suite. The move gives clients a new way to move between dollars and stablecoins without conversion fees.<\/p>\n

Ramp now supports USDT issued on Ethereum, Solana, and Plasma. It also offers 1:1 USD and USDT onramps and offramps across its products.<\/p>\n

The update expands Ramp\u2019s stablecoin services for businesses. It also builds on the firm\u2019s earlier support for Circle\u2019s USDC.<\/p>\n

Ramp expands stablecoin access across three networks<\/p>\n

Ramp said clients can now hold, send, receive, and spend USDT more easily. The company added support for Ethereum<\/a>, Solana, and Plasma-issued tokens. That gives users more network options inside one platform.<\/p>\n

Ramp senior crypto software engineer Alex Bazhenov announced the change on X. He wrote, \u201cWhat\u2019s more \u2013 we\u2019ve added 1:1 USD\/USDT onramps & offramps.\u201d He added that the service is feeless across Ramp\u2019s \u201centire suite of products.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ramp has integrated Plasma for global USDT payouts and spending! Very happy to be working with @tryramp<\/a> to get USDT to users and businesses globally. https:\/\/t.co\/jS8USF7Okm<\/a><\/p>\n

The rollout places USDT next to USD in more parts of Ramp\u2019s system. That may help firms that already use stablecoins for payments. It also broadens Ramp\u2019s crypto offering after its USDC integration.<\/p>\n

\"Zuna\"\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Ramp is known for corporate charge cards and finance software. Its products also cover expense management and accounting. The company was valued at $32 billion in November 2025.<\/p>\n

USDT remains the largest stablecoin in the market<\/p>\n

USDT is the largest stablecoin by market value. Its supply is nearing $190 billion, according to data from The Block. USDC<\/a> remains the second-largest stablecoin.<\/p>\n

Ethereum has the largest total stablecoin supply among blockchains. USDT also holds the largest share on Ethereum by market value. Still, Tron has the most circulating USDT, with Ethereum close behind.<\/p>\n

Many U.S.-based firms have stayed cautious about Tron in recent years. That was tied to legal issues around founder Justin Sun. In March, the SEC dismissed its case against Sun and two companies with prejudice.<\/p>\n

Solana remains a major alternative for stablecoin issuance. Its stablecoin market cap stands near $13 billion. About $3.3 billion of that total is USDT.<\/p>\n

Plasma support adds a newer option for Ramp users<\/p>\n

Plasma is a newer Layer 1 focused on stablecoins. It is backed by Bitfinex, Tether\u2019s sister exchange. Ramp\u2019s support gives users another network choice for USDT activity.<\/p>\n

Last year, Plasma raised $20 million in a Series A round. Founders Fund backed<\/a> that round. The chain also raised another $373 million through a public token sale.<\/p>\n

Plasma later launched a stablecoin neobank called Plasma One. Its XPL token traded at $0.10 on the day of the report. That price was down more than 3%.<\/p>\n

The token had reached an all-time high of $1.68 after launch. Ramp has not shared further comment beyond the public announcement. The Block said it contacted Bazhenov for more details.<\/p>\n
