Tether (USDT) has launched a new payment option in the Philippines, enabling citizens to pay their Social Security System (SSS) contributions using USDT, Tether’s stablecoin. The SSS, a state-run social insurance program, provides support to both formal and informal sector employees, offering financial assistance during difficult times. To facilitate this new payment method, Tether has partnered with Uquid, a Web3 shopping and infrastructure company. Uquid will enable USDT payments for SSS contributions on the TON blockchain.
