What is USDT?

How Tether works and why people use it is simple. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin have value because they grow scarcer over time. The value of 1 BTC, therefore, rests on factors like how many coins are in circulation, and supply and demand.

Tether is wholly different. This is thanks to the fact that 1 USDT will always have equivocal value to 1 United States Dollar. Tether can’t, therefore, be used for investment purposes. However, it can be used to protect your existing cryptocurrency wealth during market downturns.

It is also possible to use USDT as a digital alternative to the U.S. Dollar and other fiat currencies. This means that it is possible to conduct business in Tether, as well as and transfer money locally and internationally, similar to how you might real U.S. Dollars.
