What is Tether (USDT)?

Tether (USDT) is the world's largest and most widely used stablecoin, designed to maintain a 1:1 peg with the US Dollar. Unlike volatile cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, USDT provides price stability by being backed by reserves including cash, cash equivalents, and other assets. This makes USDT an essential tool for traders who want to preserve value during market volatility, move funds between exchanges quickly, or hold a digital representation of USD. Tether operates across multiple blockchains including Ethereum, Tron, Solana, and others, making it highly accessible and versatile.

The History of Tether

Tether was originally launched in 2014 as Realcoin by co-founders Brock Pierce, Reeve Collins, and Craig Sellars. The project was renamed to Tether in November 2014 and began trading in early 2015. It was one of the first stablecoins in the cryptocurrency market and quickly became the dominant player. Tether is issued by Tether Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong and headquartered in the British Virgin Islands. Over the years, USDT has grown to become an integral part of the cryptocurrency ecosystem, with a market capitalisation exceeding $80 billion, making it the third-largest cryptocurrency by market cap.

The Use Case of Tether

Tether serves multiple critical functions in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Traders use USDT to quickly move in and out of volatile crypto positions without converting back to fiat currency, which can be slow and expensive. It's widely used for arbitrage trading between exchanges, as a safe haven during market downturns, and as a bridge currency for international transfers. Many DeFi protocols accept USDT for lending, borrowing, and yield farming. For Australian investors, USDT provides an easy way to hold USD-equivalent value without the complexities of opening a foreign currency account.
