USDT, or Tether, is a type of stablecoin—a cryptocurrency designed to maintain a stable value by being pegged to a traditional currency. In USDT’s case, it's pegged 1:1 to the U.S. Dollar, meaning 1 USDT ≈ $1 USD. 

Why USDT Matters

Unlike volatile cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, USDT offers price stability, making it a trusted tool for:

• Storing value during market swings

• Moving money quickly across exchanges and wallets

• Reducing exposure to crypto market volatility

It’s widely used by traders, investors, and DeFi users as a bridge between fiat and crypto.
