What is Tether (USDT)

A Deep Dive on Tether

Tether (USDT) serves as a bridge between traditional finance and the blockchain world that aims to provide a stable digital asset representing the world’s largest currency. Like a financial mirror, it creates blockchain-based versions of the United States dollar, making it accessible and functional across a variety of crypto platforms.

Overview and Purpose

Tether operates in the payments sector of the crypto industry, specifically focusing on stablecoins. Its primary purpose is to provide onchain digital assets aims to maintain a stable value by being pegged to global fiat currencies. Each Tether token is designed to maintain a 1-to-1 relationship with its corresponding fiat currency (e.g., 1 USDT = 1 USD) and is backed by Tether's reserves.

Network Architecture

Tether demonstrates wide spread integration across different blockchain ecosystems operating across multiple major networks including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tron, Solana and Avalanche to name just a few. This multi-chain presence enables broad accessibility and integration with various blockchain ecosystems. The platform also supports smart contract functionality, enhancing its utility potential across different blockchain environments.

Tether Token Fundamentals

USDT, Tether's primary token, serves multiple crucial functions within the cryptocurrency ecosystem:

  • Acts as a medium of exchange between users
  • Maintains price stability and peg with other assets
  • Enables cashless transactions
  • Provides stability during market volatility
  • Facilitates merchant payments for goods and services

Supply Characteristics

Tether's supply model is uniquely demand-driven, with no maximum supply cap. New tokens are issued when entities deposit assets with Tether to receive their equivalent value onchain. The minting process is entirely dependent on market demand, with tokens being issued at a 1:1 ratio with the deposited fiat currency.

Project Development

Tether launched on October 6, 2014 and went on to pioneer the stablecoin model followed by many other offerings that have followed it. The project was founded by Brock Pierce, Reeve Collins, and Craig Sellars in the British Virgin Islands. Each founder brought unique expertise:

  • Craig Sellars served as Co-founder and Chief Technologist, leveraging his experience with Bitcoin's Omni Layer to deploy USDT initially on the Bitcoin network
  • Reeve Collins acted as CEO until 2015 and is credited with inventing the stablecoin concept
  • Brock Pierce, who had previously co-founded Blockchain Capital, contributed to the project until 2015

Although the term "stablecoin" is commonly used, there is no guarantee that the asset will maintain a stable value in relation to the value of the reference asset when traded on secondary markets or that the reserve of assets, if there is one, will be adequate to satisfy all redemptions.

FAQs

Yes, you can use Custom Orders on Kraken to automatically buy Tether if it reaches a lower price.

Timing the market can be incredibly challenging, which is why many traders opt to dollar-cost average Tether instead. Using recurring buys, you can steadily accumulate Tether over time regardless of its market price, and eliminate the stress of trying to perfectly time the market.

16,132,556,336 USDT worth $16,119,311,507 was traded on Kraken in the last 24 hours.

A variety of factors affect the price of Tether including market sentiment, technical developments, user adoption and macro economic events.

The Tether price chart shows several important pieces of information about the current price of Tether, including its recent price movement and trading volume. The vertical axis represents the value of the asset in your chosen currency, such as USD, while the horizontal axis shows the time period, which can range from minutes to years. Tether price charts often use candlesticks to illustrate price movements. Each candlestick represents the opening, closing, highest and lowest prices USDT printed within a specific time frame. Below the price chart, you may also see volume bars that display trading activity for that period, with taller bars indicating higher trade volume. Professional traders often factor in these data points when conducting their own technical analysis.

You can use the USDT price chart to analyze price movements and identify areas of support and resistance. Many traders also use different technical indicators to help them analyze past USDT trading patterns in an effort to predict future price changes. It's important to remember that no method can predict prices with 100% accuracy, but using different tools while analyzing the USDT price chart can help inform your trading strategy.

Yes, Kraken makes it easy to stake and earn rewards on dozens of different cryptocurrencies. Visit our staking page here to see if Tether is eligible for staking or opt-in rewards in your region.

As with any financial investment, there are risks to consider before investing in Tether and holding it on an exchange like Kraken. Cryptocurrency prices, including Tether, can be highly volatile. While Kraken has always maintained a strong focus on security, we encourage our clients to self custody their crypto in non-custodial wallets that only they can access, like Kraken Wallet.

Cryptocurrency tax reporting rules vary significantly from country to country. It’s advisable to seek professional local tax guidance to ensure correct reporting and avoid potential penalties.

  1. To set up Tether price alerts on Kraken web, go to the Alerts widget, located behind the Order form in Advanced view. First, enable browser notifications. Then, click "Create new alert" to open the alert setup. Choose Tether, set trigger parameters, and adjust the price using the percentage buttons or by typing the desired price.
  2. To set up Tether price alerts on the Kraken mobile app, ensure push notifications are enabled in both your device settings and within Kraken Pro. Then, go to the price alerts modal by tapping the bell icon on the Markets page or long-pressing any open order. Select "Create new alert" and follow the same steps as on the web platform

You can use custom orders on Kraken to automatically execute stop-loss or take profit orders for Tether. When using Kraken Pro, you can set a stop-loss or take-profit order for Tether by locating the "Take Profit / Stop Loss" dropdown on the order form. Choose either "Simple" or "Advanced" mode based on your preference.

Your funding limits are influenced by several factors, including your country of residence, verification level and the asset you're looking to deposit or withdraw.

Yes, the Kraken mobile trading app makes it easy to manage your Tether holdings on the go. Our smart investing service brings powerful tools and effortless control to your Tether investments.

To export your Tether trading history, locate the Settings menu and click on “Documents” > “Create Export.” From here, you can choose between trade history, ledger history or balance, depending on what data you’d like to export.

Yes, Kraken offers recurring buy functionality for a wide range of cryptocurrencies, including Tether. To set it up, open the mobile app, tap "Buy," and choose the asset you'd like to purchase. Then, enter the amount you wish to buy and select the frequency by clicking "One Time" and choosing a schedule that works for you: daily, weekly, or monthly.
