This would allow it to be used as a medium of exchange and a way of storing value, instead of being used as a speculative investment.</p><p>Tether belongs to the category of fiat-collateralized stablecoins. This means that a fiat currency such as the US dollar, euro, or yen supports every cryptocurrency in circulation. Other categories include crypto-collateralized stablecoins that use cryptocurrency reserves as collateral or non-collateralized stablecoins. Non-collateralized stablecoins do not have any collateral but work similarly to a reserve bank to maintain the required number of tokens, depending on the economic situation.</p><p>The main reason for Tether’s creation was to build the necessary bridge between fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies and offer users transparency, stability, and minimal transaction fees. USDT is pegged to the US dollar and maintains a 1:1 ratio with the US dollar in value terms.

Trading began It began trading in February 2015.</p><h3>Where can you buy Tether?</h3><p>You can buy Tether (USDT) on a large number of cryptocurrency exchanges. Binance, OKEx, HitBTC, Huobi Global are some of the most popular Tether trading exchanges.</p><p>In fact, the average daily USDT trading volume often equals or even exceeds the Bitcoin trading volume.
