What is Tether USDt Token
USD-pegged Tether Token (USDt) is a stablecoin with a value meant to mirror the value of the U.S. dollar. A digital token pegged to fiat currency provides individuals and organizations with a robust and decentralized method of exchanging value while using a familiar accounting unit.
Today, in addition to Bitcoin (Liquid Protocol), Tether tokens exist as digital tokens available on Tron, Avalanche, Cosmos*, Ethereum, Near, Polkadot, Solana, Tezos, Celo, Jetton via The Open Network (TON) and Aptos blockchains. Learn more about Tether's transport protocols.
