Tether Invests in Whop to Embed Stablecoin Payments for Millions
Tether Investments has taken a strategic stake in Whop and will integrate its wallet infrastructure to enable USDT and USAT payments across the marketplace.
Tether Investments announced a strategic investment in digital marketplace Whop, with media reports stating the deal is worth roughly $200 million, aimed at expanding stablecoin payment options on the platform [1][4].
As part of the agreement, Whop will integrate Tether’s wallet development kit (WDK) and support Tether tokens including USDT and the newer USAT, bringing stablecoin payments to the marketplace’s reported user base of more than 18 million people [1][3][4].
Tether and industry coverage say the move is intended to speed dollar settlements and reduce payment frictions in regions with limited traditional payment infrastructure, a development positioned to accelerate stablecoin adoption among creators and merchants on Whop [2][3].
The investment links Tether’s payment infrastructure directly into a large internet marketplace, positioning stablecoins as a built-in settlement option for Whop’s global user base [1][4].
