Tether (USDT) is a fiat-backed stablecoin designed to maintain a value pegged to the U.S. dollar, functioning as a digital equivalent of fiat cash within cryptocurrency markets. It belongs to the broader category of USD stablecoins and is issued by Tether Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong and governed under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. Unlike volatile cryptocurrencies, each USDT token is intended to be backed by reserves of traditional currency held by the issuer, providing a stable on-chain representation of the dollar. USDT operates across numerous blockchain ecosystems, including Ethereum, Tron, Solana, Avalanche, Near Protocol, Celo, Tezos, Kaia, Aptos, TON, and Kava, which contributes to its wide accessibility. Its primary use case is serving as a liquidity bridge between fiat and digital assets, allowing traders to move in and out of positions on exchanges without relying directly on banking channels. Because of its stability and broad exchange support, USDT is widely used for trading pairs, cross-exchange transfers, and as a settlement asset in decentralized finance applications.
Total supply is at a record high, yet net monthly growth is just 0.3% as USDT gains of $5B are offset by $4.2B in combined USDC, USDe, and PYUSD outflows.
