USD Tether or USDT, is included in the Stablecoin crypto asset type, which maintains the stability of crypto asset valuations, and has a value equal to 1 US Dollar per token. Each USDT token, held in the reserve balance of Tether Limited, can be obtained through the Tether platform, or through an exchange such as Indodax. USDT is useful for “maintaining the value of funds” for users, including facilitating cross-border fund transfers, with lower shipping costs than bank services or remittance companies.

First, USDT is created on the Bitcoin blockchain network, via the Omni Layer Protocol to ensure the tokens issued are secure. Currently, apart from using the Bitcoin blockchain, USDT also uses the EOS, TRON and Ethereum blockchain.
