88% of stablecoins on Kava are natively issued USDT, directly minted by Tether at the protocol level. They are neither cross-chain transferred assets nor wrapped assets, with no third-party custody involved throughout the entire process. Combined with unified liquidity enabled by the integration of EVM and IBC environments within the network, this means Kava is building a full-chain system—including the soon-to-be-launched tokenized financial products—where the settlement layer fundamentally avoids the cross-chain bridge attack risks that have drawn industry attention multiple times this year.
