About Tether

Tether is the world's first stablecoin. Tether (USDT) was created in 2014 as the first "stablecoin", a digital asset that is backed 100% by Tether’s reserves. Tether is designed to be used as a means of converting cash to digital currency, and claim that all Tethers in circulation reflect the amount of their reserves in U.S. Dollars. This results in Tether's value remaining close to 1 dollar at all times.
