Lightning labs are definitely hoping tether and circle will get in. So far no luck on that front.
The main idea behind taproot assets though is to bring in people interested in speculating and price action.
I thought tether was using Omnibolt to put tether on lightning. I saw a demo of them doing that like two years ago

I will have to check that out. I have not heard of omnibolt.
I know lightning labs want them to get into taproot assets. RGB really want them on their protocol too
