Why Bitcoin? As Viktor explains, USDT was originally launched on Bitcoin, and the technology to bring it back is finally ready โ with transfers in just 50โ100 milliseconds, near-zero fees, and privacy without compromising compliance.
In this episode of the Gate Ventures Podcast, Viktor shares his vision for how RGB and the Lightning Network could transform Bitcoin into a fast, private settlement layer for USDT, along with his ambitious goal of bringing $10โ20 billion in USDT TVL to Bitcoin within the next 12 months.
