Celsius Network has announced a new collaboration with stablecoin creator Tether to offer up to 12% interest on USDT deposits.
According to the press release shared with CryptoGlobe on Oct. 23, Celsius is partnering with Tether to offer full integration of the USDT stablecoin, which will allow depositors to begin earning interest on their holding.
Clients can now directly deposit USDT into their Celsius wallet and begin earning up to 12% in annual interest, which is paid out weekly. Users have the choice of which crypto-asset to earn interest with, including bitcoin.
