Tether Invests in Whop to Bring Stablecoin Payments to Global Marketplace

Tether has announced a strategic investment in Whop, a creator marketplace platform with 18.4 million users, to integrate stablecoin payments.

The partnership will enable self-custodial stablecoin payments for Whop users, supporting both USDT and Tether's newer yield-bearing stablecoin, USDA.

Whop operates as an internet marketplace where creators sell digital products, courses, and community access, processing around $3 billion in annual creator earnings.

The integration of Tether's Wallet Development Kit (WDK) will transform Whop into a self-custodial wallet for its community, with plans to introduce DeFi primitives including lending and borrowing features.
