What is USDT?

USDT, or Tether, is a type of cryptocurrency known as a stablecoin. Unlike volatile digital assets like Bitcoin or Ethereum, USDT is pegged 1:1 to the US Dollar, meaning 1 USDT is intended to always equal 1 USD.

USDT is issued by Tether Limited and operates across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum (ERC-20), Tron (TRC-20), and others. It combines the benefits of blockchain technology—fast transfers, transparency, and decentralization—with the price stability of traditional fiat currencies.
