Tether Takes Strategic Stake in Whop, Expands Stablecoin Payout Infrastructure

Tether has acquired a strategic stake in Whop as the digital marketplace moves to integrate Tether’s Wallet Development Kit (WDK) for stablecoin based creator payouts. Whop supports more than 18.4 million users and facilitates approximately $3 billion in annual payouts across 144 countries.

Through the integration, creators will be able to receive payments in USDT and USAT, linking Whop’s marketplace to Tether’s global ecosystem of over 530 million users and more than $180 billion in issued digital dollars. The partnership also aims to expand Whop’s footprint in Latin America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.

Tether Strengthens Market Position and Global Expansion

The investment comes as Tether maintains a leading share of the $293 billion stablecoin market. USDT accounts for roughly $183 billion in circulating supply, representing more than 62% market share. In 2025, Tether reported over $10 billion in net profit and disclosed $122 billion in U.S. Treasury holdings.

The WDK integration could further position Whop to offer decentralized finance features such as lending and borrowing, reinforcing Tether’s push into scalable digital dollar infrastructure worldwide.
