Tether or USDT has become the official currency of Myanmar and can be used locally with great ease. The National Unity Government (NUG), Myanmar's shadow government, followed by the followers of the jailed leader Aung San Suu Kyi, made the declaration.

USDT as legal tender?

USDT is a private stablecoin owned by an organization called Tether and is currently the world's fourth-biggest cryptocurrency with a market cap of nearly $76 billion. The current circulating supply of the token is 76,458,204,084 USDT. As per a report from Bloomberg, stablecoin is now a part of Myanmar's day-to-day purchases.

USDT will be put to "domestic use to make it easy and speed up the current trade, services, and payment systems," NUG Finance Minister Tin Tun Naing said Sunday in a Facebook post. Moreover, no other details were given regarding the issuance of the policies on the matter.

This sudden adoption of cryptocurrency is a blow to the Central Bank of the nation that declared last year that the blockchain-based currencies are illegal and also threatened to imprison or fine investors. Although, an argument can be made that USDT is not a typical cryptocurrency because it is pegged on a 1:1 ratio to the US dollar instead of being highly volatile like BTC or ETH. 

A point of discussion

Stablecoins, especially USDT, have been a topic of major debate among many nations. The adoption of Tether is on the rise as it recently launched on Avalanche too. However, regulators have always speculative the existence of this stablecoin and its circulation. 

In a study published by Cem Dilmegani, the US regulators have fined Tether, accused it of being involved in shady activities, and yet it will continue to run. The firm is based in the British Virgin Islands and is not audited, and there are cases wherein exchanges use stablecoin to drive prices up. 

The authorities plan to launch CBDCs or central bank digital currencies to supress the growth of such stablecoins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
