Cómo vender Tether (USDT)
As a crypto trader or investor, there may be times when you’ll need to sell USDT.
A crypto asset unlike most others, USDT mirrors the value of the U.S. dollar but runs on a blockchain, meaning it provides the functionality of the U.S. dollar without the transfer delays that can be common when trading real dollars between bank accounts.
This means that by buying and selling USDT at the right time, you may be able to gain exposure to the upward movements of crypto assets more quickly.
Kraken’s global order book can offer you the ability to sell USDT for a variety of traditional currencies, meaning it can be an alternative for timely FX trading as well.
For more information on how you can sell USDT if and when an opportunity presents itself, follow the steps outlined below.
