Tether is a cryptocurrency from the “family” of stable coins. What you need to know about her

Tether (USDT) is a cryptocurrency that falls under the category of stable coins (or stablecoins). Stablecoins are designed to have a stable value, usually pegged to a fiat currency such as the US dollar. The main idea behind stablecoins is to provide cryptocurrency users with a store of value without the large price fluctuations that plague other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum.

Tether was created by Tether Limited. The core principle of Tether is that each unit of USDT must be backed by one US dollar in reserve. This means that the company states that it has enough reserve dollars to cover all USDT tokens issued. Thus, Tether strives to ensure price stability for its cryptocurrency at the level of one US dollar.

Tether is widely used in the cryptocurrency industry for trading and as a means to move funds between cryptocurrency exchanges without having to convert them into fiat money. However, Tether has also attracted controversy and questions regarding the transparency of its reserves and the company’s governance, and has been the subject of regulatory investigations.
