What is USDT
USDT is the most liquid and widely used stablecoin on the market. Issued by Tether Limited, a company affiliated with the Bitfinex exchange. Reserves are backed by a mix of cash dollars, short-term Treasuries, corporate bonds, and other assets. Despite less reserve transparency than USDC, USDT remains the standard for trading and holding dollar-denominated value on crypto venues. Available on dozens of blockchains (Ethereum, Tron, Solana, BSC, and others).
Known risks
- ⚠Historical lack of reserve transparency — Tether refused a full audit for years
- ⚠Regulatory pressure in the US (CFTC and NYAG fines in 2021)
- ⚠Possible de-pegging during market panic
- ⚠Dependence on a single issuer
- ⚠Address freezes upon law enforcement requests
