What is Tether?

Modified on Sat, 18 Feb, 2023 at 3:32 PM

Tether (USDT) is a hybrid crypto-fiat “stablecoin” whose value is based on the USD and other fiat currencies. It operates on the Omni protocol as a token issued on the blockchain. As a rule of thumb, every Omni transaction is recorded in a Bitcoin transaction sharing the same transaction hash. Coins that serve this purpose of being a stable dollar substitute are called “stable coins”. Tether is the most popular stable coin and even acts as a dollar replacement on many popular exchanges.

Tether currency is helpful regarding the volatility of cryptocurrencies. Ideally, this means 1 Tether can be used in place of a dollar on all exchanges. However, in practice, the price tends to fluctuate a little. Every Tether is supposed to be backed by dollars kept in reserve in a 1:1 ratio.
