Overview
Tether Operations issues stablecoins, led by USDT, to bridge fiat currency with the crypto world. USDT is pegged to the U.S. dollar and issued on multiple blockchains (such as Ethereum, Tron, and Solana) to enable fast, low-friction transfers between exchanges. The tokens are backed by reserves and supported by periodic attestations, with revenue from reserve interest and token-related fees. The goal is to provide stable, liquid digital dollars for crypto trading and cross-border liquidity, while differentiating itself with broad blockchain support and a focus on transparency.
