    About Tether USD

    • What Is Tether (USDT)?

      Tether (USDT) is globally the first and most widely used stablecoin in the crypto market. The USDT price is pegged to the US dollar at a 1 to 1 ratio and is backed by Tether's reserves.

      It offers all benefits of a cryptocurrency - enabling the digital transfer of payments, decentralized design, and all other advantages blockchain technology has to offer. However, it also comes with the added benefit of being immune to the high volatility of other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum experience, thanks to its pegging mechanism.

      The USDT token can be thought of as a blockchain-based equivalent to the fiat currency US dollar. Its key strength lies in the price stability mechanism, making it a convenient way to conduct digital transactions without worrying about fluctuations in price and value.

      As of March 2023, Tether enjoys a market cap of more than $71 billion and features among the top 5 digital assets by market cap. It is also the leader among stablecoins pegged to the US dollar based on trading volume and circulating supply, enjoying ample adoption by crypto investors and among DeFi consumers.

    • How Does Tether’s USDT Work?

      Tether offers the stability and security that fiat currencies are known for and merges them with the power of blockchain technology. This provides a decentralized and easy-to-use payment option, handy for making cross-border payments possible almost instantly.

      The lack of intermediaries like banks and financial institutions means that USDT transactions offer near-instant settlement times, lower transaction costs, and higher transparency than the traditional banking and finance industry.

      Tether tokens enjoy a 1-to-1 peg with fiat currencies, for instance, 1 USDT = 1 USD, keeping the Tether price closely fixed to that of the United States dollar. Users can deposit fiat currency into Tether’s bank account to obtain an equivalent amount of Tether tokens into their crypto wallets. Users can then transact, trade, or hold these USDT tokens just like regular cryptocurrencies, except without worrying about sudden Tether price drops that could wipe out their capital.

      Whenever users sell their USDT in exchange for fiat currency, Tether removes as many tokens from the total supply. This move ensures that Tether's price remains pegged to the US dollar and does not falter.

    • History of Tether and USDT

      Launched in 2014, Tether was initially known as Realcoin and was a Layer-2 crypto developed on top of the Bitcoin blockchain. It underwent two name changes, getting updated first to USTether and then to Tether (USDT).

       

      Brock Pierce, Craig Sellers, and Reeve Collins were the co-founders of Tether (USDT), designing it to keep the USDT price pegged at 1:1 with the US dollar. Developers using the Omni protocol on Bitcoin, Tether then went on to get updated so it could work on Ethereum, EOS, TRON, Algorand, and OMG blockchain networks as well. USDT tokens on Ethereum function as ERC-20 tokens.

       

      Tether faced some controversies over a lack of complete visibility into audited financial statements about their USD reserves that they claim back the USDT coin. It announced its banking partners in November 2018 to ease some concerns about their claims.

       

      In March 2019, Tether announced that the USDT tokens were not backed 100% by US dollar deposits. Since then, Tether claims that the USDT token is backed by reserves, consisting of both USD and cash equivalents, in addition to other assets and receivables from loans made by the company.
