Xapo Bank to Enable Tether Deposits, Withdrawals
Earlier this year, the crypto-friendly bank introduced support for USDC.
Xapo Bank, a crypto-friendly institution based in Gibraltar, will allow customers to deposit and withdraw tether (USDT), the largest stablecoin by market cap, by the end of the month.
The transactions will not incur fees, the 10-year-old bank said in a statement shared with CoinDesk. The tether service will join a similar one for USD Coin (USDC), which the retail-focused bank introduced in March. Since that started, it has received $48 million in USDC deposits and enabled $4.5 million in withdrawals, bank said.

The bank said it offers a 4.1% annual interest rate on deposits.
