Understanding Tether
Tether belongs to a fast-growing breed of cryptocurrencies called stablecoins, which aim to keep the price of their tokens stable, most commonly by tying it to the price of a traditional currency like the U.S. dollar.
7. (Tether also issues tokens pegged to the euro, the offshore Chinese yuan, and gold, none with more than a small fraction of the market cap of its U.S. dollar-pegged USDT tokens.)71.
8. How Does Tether Stay at $1?
While Tether has dropped below $1 before (and risen above its peg) on occasion, it can remain near that price so long as it continues to redeem USDT tokens for $1 each, and as long as investors continue to believe issuance proceeds are fully reserved with liquid collateral assets.
