What is USDT?
USDT, also known as Tether, is a cryptocurrency designed to keep its value as stable as possible. Unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum, which can skyrocket or plummet dramatically within minutes, USDT is a stablecoin.
The main goal of USDT is to always be worth 1 US dollar. For every USDT in circulation, the issuing company (Tether Limited) claims to have a backing of one dollar in assets (cash, treasury bonds, etc.) in its reserves.
What is it used for?
Hedge against volatility: If you hold Bitcoin and think the market is going to drop, you can swap your Bitcoins for USDT to "freeze" your value in dollars without needing to withdraw the money to a traditional bank.
Quick and cheap transfers: It allows you to send "digital dollars" anywhere in the world in minutes, using blockchain technology, avoiding the high costs and delays of international bank transfers.
Payments and savings: Many people use it as a way to save in a strong currency (the dollar) if they live in countries with high inflation.
How does it work?
USDT doesn’t have its own network; it "travels" through other blockchains. The most common ones are:
TRC-20 (TRON Network): Very popular for being fast and having very low fees.
ERC-20 (Ethereum Network): Very secure and compatible, but its fees tend to be higher.
Important note: Although it is quite stable, USDT is issued by a private company. This means its value depends on the trust that the company actually has the dollars it claims to have in its reserves
