Cryptocurrency’s third step: A USDT (Tether) story — Stable coin Part 1
Hi everyone!
Today I am going to talk about “USDT (Tether),” which acts as the dollar in the coin world. I’m sure you’ve heard a lot about bitcoin and Ethereum, so let’s learn about tether that follows those two.
What is USDT?
In 2014, three co-founders of the Bitcoin Foundation, Brockpiers, Liv Collins, and Craig Sellers, founded Tether Limited, a publisher of the USDT (Tether).
(Tether Limited is headquartered in Hong Kong.)
Tether (USDT) is a cryptocurrency designed to enable digital legalization.
Stable Coin is a cryptocurrency that holds fixed value for other types of currency or cryptographic assets. The value is based on the stable value currency, the US dollar (USD), and the equivalent is 1:1.
That is, 1 USDT = $1. And, you can always exchange USDT!
Tether USDT runs on the blockchain and utilizes security and transparency provided while meeting international standards and compliance.
Tether Limited’s reserve status can be checked at any time on the Transparency page.
Stable Coin (USDT) is one of the main channels that convert current legal currency into cryptocurrency.
Due to its close relationship with USD 1:1 value, it is very close to legal currency.
