Tether is a blockchain-based cryptocurrency whose cryptoсoins are backed by an equivalent number of traditional fiat currencies such as the dollar, euro, or Japanese yen, which are held in a specific bank account. Tether tokens, the native tokens of the Tether network, are traded under the symbol USDT.
Tether belongs to a group of cryptocurrencies called stablecoins, which aim to maintain the stability of the cryptocurrency value, in contrast to the sharp fluctuations of other popular cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. This would allow it to be used as a medium of exchange and a way of storing value, instead of being used as a speculative investment.
Tether belongs to the category of fiat-collateralized stablecoins. This means that a fiat currency such as the US dollar, euro, or yen supports every cryptocurrency in circulation. Other categories include crypto-collateralized stablecoins that use cryptocurrency reserves as collateral or non-collateralized stablecoins. Non-collateralized stablecoins do not have any collateral but work similarly to a reserve bank to maintain the required number of tokens, depending on the economic situation.
