About USDT
What is USDT?
USDT is a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the U.S. Dollar, backed by reserves including cash, treasury bills, and other dollar-equivalent assets. It was the first stablecoin to launch, and today it remains the most traded and widely used in the global crypto market.
Originally launched in 2014, USDT is issued by Tether Limited and operates across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, Tron, and others. Its broad adoption and multi-chain flexibility make it a top choice for both individual traders and institutions.
USDT is commonly used to move funds between exchanges, hedge against market volatility, and store value without exposure to local currency risks. For users in emerging markets, USDT also serves as a practical alternative to accessing U.S. dollar-based assets without relying on traditional banks.
