Georgia Teams Up With Tether To Launch National Stablecoin

The government of Georgia has partnered with Tether, the issuer of USDT, to launch GEL₮, a national stablecoin pegged to the Georgian Lari. This initiative aims to integrate the national currency directly onto digital asset infrastructure under a new regulatory framework, designed to align with regulations like the U.S. GENIUS Act. Georgia's prime minister and Tether's CEO highlighted the move as a step toward a more transparent and digitally empowered financial system, building on the country's existing digital asset payment infrastructure. While specific launch details for GEL₮ are pending, the announcement coincides with a period of strong regulatory momentum and growth for stablecoins, whose combined market cap is near an all-time high of approximately $322.7 billion.
