What Is USDT?
USDT stands for Tether, a type of stablecoin — a cryptocurrency designed to maintain a stable value by being pegged to a traditional currency, usually the US Dollar. For every 1 USDT in circulation, the issuer (Tether Ltd.) claims to hold 1 USD or equivalent assets in reserve. This makes USDT popular for trading, hedging against volatility, and moving funds across exchanges quickly without the need for fiat conversion.
