What is Tether (USDT)?
Updated: 2026-10-07 · MarketRadar Whale
Tether (USDT) is a stablecoin: a coin meant to stay close to one US dollar. Traders use it to park money between trades.
How does it hold its value?
The issuer says it keeps reserves against every Tether. Trust in those reserves is what keeps the price steady.
Which networks carry it?
Tether exists on several networks (including Tron and Ethereum). When you send it, the sending and receiving network must match, or the money can be lost.
Risks of Tether
- The issuer can freeze some addresses.
- If trust in the reserves drops, the price can drift from one dollar.
- Fees and speed differ by network.
