Tether Anchors Pact Labs Series A to Embed Digital Dollars in Payroll

Pact Labs announced a $7 million Series A round on Jul 14, 2026, anchored by a strategic investment from Tether. Blockchange Ventures and Lasagna also participated. The capital will accelerate infrastructure connecting USA₮, a U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin issued by Anchorage Digital Bank and launched in collaboration with Tether, to payroll, earned wage access, credit, and payments for American workers.

Pact Labs has already deployed hundreds of thousands of embedded wallets and live stablecoin payroll flows across enterprise platforms. The company's integrations have facilitated over $1.9 billion in credit across emerging markets and now power on-chain payroll infrastructure in partnership with Payactiv and Tether's USA₮. Bo Hines, CEO of Tether USA₮, said the partnership gives Tether "the rails to put digital dollars designed to be compliant with U.S. regulations directly into the hands of millions of American workers."
