Whop to Use Tether’s Wallet Technology

Whop will implement Tether’s WDK, which supports Bitcoin, Lightning, USD₮, XAU₮, and USA₮. This system allows users to hold and manage funds directly while accessing features like on-chain settlement, lending, and borrowing through decentralized finance.

Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, said,

“Stablecoins and wallets become most powerful when they are embedded directly into people’s lives, supporting their businesses, activities, families, and individual stories.”

He added that WDK integration will help Whop provide faster and more reliable payments.

Global Expansion Plans

Tether’s investment will help Whop expand in Latin America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region. The platform plans to develop new financial tools and AI features to help creators earn income more efficiently. Steven Schwartz, CEO and Co-Founder of Whop, said, “The next generation of business on the internet is global from day one, and payments need to move as freely as the internet itself.”

By combining Tether’s technology and global reach—over 530 million users and $180 billion in digital dollars issued—Whop will be able to offer faster, more reliable payments to its international network.
