The integration of USDT on TON offers Binance users increased flexibility in managing stablecoin liquidity across different blockchain networks.
This move is expected to significantly boost transaction speeds and reduce associated fees, providing a more cost-effective solution for handling USDT transactions. Users are advised to verify their assigned token deposit addresses and smart contract details via Binance’s official announcement to ensure smooth transactions on TON.
