Is it possible to Send USDT without BTC as Miner Fee?

It is very troublesome when I wanted to send some USDT-omni to an exchange or my friends from my wallet, I was stuck because I found out it required me to pay some BTC as the miner fee. But I had NO BTC in my wallet! So I had to transfer a little amount of BTC to this wallet. This was very annoying and time-consuming.

I am asking if it is possible, technically, that I send USDT-omni out of my wallet without paying BTC as miner fee? Or is there any wallet already solved this problem that requires no BTC as miner fee?


IMHO, more and more people are using wallet to manage their USDT rather than keeping them in an exchange. However, if you are sending USDT via a wallet, you should be asked to pay some bitcoin as miner fee. This perhaps is a right timing also for me since I'm currently exploring a future cryptocurrency exchange platform named Bitrus. Anyway, USDT is a cryptocurrency asset issued on the Bitcoin blockchain via the Omni Layer Protocol(Use OP_RETURN in Bitcoin transaction to store USDT transaction information). Therefore, an USDT transaction is actually a bitcoin transaction. Consequently, it needs to pay a bit of bitcoin as the miner fee for an USDT transaction. Just my two cents  on this....
