Tether ends CNH₮ offshore yuan stablecoin support: what changed and immediate impact
Tether will discontinue support for its offshore yuan stablecoin CNH₮ (also styled CNHT) effective immediately, as reported by Bitget News (https://www.bitget.com/news/detail/12560605211441). The decision halts new issuance and starts a managed wind‑down of support.
CNH refers to the offshore renminbi used outside mainland China. The token is denominated in CNH and distinct from onshore CNY.
An immediate issuance halt can narrow liquidity and widen spreads on venues still listing the asset. Exchanges and wallets may update trading or custody status as support winds down.
Why it matters: CNH₮ redemption steps, timelines, exchange and wallet actions
According to the issuer’s notice, issuance stops now and redemption remains available during a defined transition period before full support ends.
“Tether, in an official notice, said it would stop issuing CNH₮ immediately and discontinue redemption support one year later, citing ‘low interest in the product’ and ‘limited sustained community demand’.” (https://tether.io/news/tether-updates-users-on-a-strategic-transition-for-cnht-to-better-support-community-driven-product-focus/)
For CNH₮ redemption, practical considerations include verifying current listing and withdrawal status with exchanges or wallets, confirming issuer‑side redemption availability, and monitoring any conversion or delisting timelines announced by platforms. These steps can help reduce operational frictions as support phases out.
Media coverage has advised holders to redeem promptly during the supported window, as reported by Phemex (https://phemex.com/news/article/tether-to-cease-support-for-offshore-yuan-stablecoin-cnh-61761).
Context and open questions on CNH (offshore RMB) exposure
What we know: Tether CNHT rationale and current official notices
The notice frames the move as a strategic refocus led by usage patterns and community demand. It confirms an immediate issuance cessation and a time‑bound redemption period before full support ends.
What to watch: exchange listings, CNH₮ redemption support, regulator updates
Areas to watch include exchange listing updates covering trading halts, delistings, or conversions that could affect CNH₮ balances. Wallet providers may adjust custody, transfers, or display for CNHT as support winds down.
Potential regulatory updates tied to CNH (offshore renminbi) may emerge in relevant jurisdictions, including institutions such as the People’s Bank of China (PBOC). The timing and scope of any updates remain uncertain.
