Tether Wallet

Tether, launched in 2014, is a blockchain-based platform aimed at modernizing the use of fiat currencies in digital transactions. It seeks to revolutionize traditional finance by offering a contemporary approach to money. Tether stands out by enabling users to transact with fiat currencies on the blockchain, avoiding the usual volatility and complexity associated with digital currencies. As the pioneer in facilitating the digital utilization of traditional currencies, Tether has simplified cross-border transactions across blockchain networks. 

The Tether USD₮ token represents a digital version of the US dollar, leveraging blockchain technology as a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the USD. USD₮ provides both individuals and organizations with a decentralized and reliable means of exchanging value while using a familiar accounting unit.

Tether tokens operate as digital tokens established on various prominent blockchains, including Algorand, Avalanche, Bitcoin Cash's Simple Ledger Protocol (SLP), Ethereum, EOS, Liquid Network, Omni, Polygon, Tezos, Tron, Solana, Kava, and Statemine. These transport protocols comprise open-source software that interacts with blockchains to enable the creation and redemption of Tether tokens. Each Tether token is fully backed by reserves held by Tether. As a fully transparent entity, Tether regularly discloses a record of its current reserve assets.

FAQ

What is Tether?

While commonly used interchangeably, it's crucial to distinguish between Tether and USDT. Tether serves as a centralized entity that issues stablecoins, with USDT being just one of them. Apart from USDT, Tether also introduces various other stablecoins backed by fiat currencies and commodities. Although these stablecoins may have considerably smaller market caps compared to USDT, Tether provides an array of fiat-backed stablecoins like Tether Euro (EURT) and Tether GBP (GBPT), each backed by their corresponding assets held in Tether's reserves.

But it’s not just tokenized fiat currencies that Tether puts on-chain either. It also offers commodity-backed assets too. For example, Tether Gold (XAUt) is backed by a physical commodity: gold. This physical store of gold is managed as part of Tether’s reserves. That means you can redeem physical gold bars with your XAUt directly via Tether. Essentially, Tether (the company) issues and distributes these tokenized assets. It’s also responsible for controlling the number of USDT, EURT, GBPT, or MXNT in circulation and maintaining each asset’s peg.

How much is Tether?

Initially introduced as "Realcoin" in 2014, Tether operates with the aim of maintaining the value of each token close to one US dollar, thus easing the process of transferring actual cryptocurrency across the digital coin landscape. Referred to as a "stablecoin," Tether's value remains stable and pegged at $1.

Tether serves as a cryptocurrency striving to maintain a stable value linked to a fiat currency like the dollar or euro. This stability is achieved by holding enough actual currency or equivalents in reserves to match the value of the fiat currency. Its primary purpose is facilitating the conversion of cryptocurrencies into fiat to avoid value fluctuations during transactions. However, there are instances where Tether's value doesn't precisely align with the fiat currency it's meant to track. For example, during the November 2022 collapse of the FTX exchange, Tether briefly dropped to nearly $0.995 before swiftly recovering, sometimes even surpassing a 1-to-1 peg.

How do I add money to my Tether wallet?

To acquire Tether, you'll need a secure Tether wallet to store it. Once you have a wallet address set up, there are two primary ways to obtain USDT: purchasing it with fiat currency or exchanging some of your current crypto for USDT wallet. If you opt for the first method, you'll require an on-ramp service. These are commonly provided by centralized exchanges, facilitating the buying or selling of cryptocurrencies for fiat currencies like euros or dollars. However, before proceeding, you'll need to undergo a KYC process to meet anti-money laundering regulations.

When using centralized exchanges, you're usually required to begin by using their custodial wallet. This means that when purchasing USDT through this method, you won't have control over the private keys to your assets. Instead, the centralized entity from which you bought your crypto will manage them, and you'll access them via an email log-in. To swap your crypto, you'll also need to utilize an exchange, which can be either decentralized or centralized. However, opting for the former ensures that you maintain ownership of your assets.
