“Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of the OMG Network that supports thousands of transactions per second and reduces transaction costs to a third of Ethereum.”
Paolo Ardoino, CTO at Bitfinex seconded CEO Chatikavanij on the same as he stated,
“By migrating USDT value transfers to the OMG Network, we save costs, drive performance improvements, and relieve pressure on the root chain. This is good for Bitfinex, our users, and the entire Ethereum ecosystem.”

The OMG Network’s “More Viable Plasma solution” reportedly sanctions a number of transactions in a single block with a lesser fee. Ardoino further elaborated on the same and said,
“This allows traders to react faster to trading opportunities and more efficiently arbitrage between exchanges as the network grows.”
Even though Ethereum is the most sizably voluminous value settler for Tether, the stablecoin operates on various other blockchains including EOS, Liquid Network, Omni, Tron, Algorand, Ethereum and its latest blockchain, OMG Network.
