Tether updates transition plan for old blockchain versions: Will not freeze smart contracts on these networks

According to official blog posts, stablecoin issuer Tether announced today an update to its transition plan for five traditional blockchains: Omni Layer, Bitcoin Cash SLP, Kusama, EOS, and Algorand. Over a year ago, Tether announced plans to stop redeeming and freezing USDT tokens on these traditional blockchains starting from September 1, 2025, gradually phasing out support. In response to feedback from the communities of these discontinued blockchains, Tether has modified this approach and will not freeze smart contracts on these networks. While users can still transfer tokens between wallets, Tether will cease direct issuance and redemption of tokens on these blockchains. This means these tokens will no longer be officially supported like other Tether tokens. Tether remains committed to a smooth transition and will continue to work with the community to ensure transparency and clarity throughout the entire process.
