What is Tether and How Does It Work?
Tether (USDT) is a stablecoin launched in 2014 by Tether Limited, designed to maintain a stable value by being pegged to the US dollar at a 1:1 ratio. As one of the first and most widely adopted stablecoins, Tether was created to bridge the gap between traditional fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies, providing users with the benefits of digital currency while minimising price volatility.
USDT operates primarily on multiple blockchain networks including Ethereum, Tron, and others, allowing for fast and cost-effective transfers worldwide. The stablecoin is backed by reserves including bank deposits and commercial paper, enabling users to trade, transfer funds across borders, and participate in decentralised finance (DeFi) applications while maintaining exposure to USD value.
