What is USDT? Why do people use it?

What USDT/ USD₮ is, why people use stablecoins, and how to use USDT in MyTonWallet (TON and TRON).

USDT (Tether) is a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar at a 1:1 ratio. This means its value closely follows the USD exchange rate and is not subject to significant volatility.

💸 How Do You Use USDT?

USDT works just like other cryptocurrencies for:

• Storing assets

• Transferring funds

• Exchanging between different cryptocurrencies

It's essentially like holding US Dollars in digital form, but with the added benefits of blockchain technology.

💭 Why Should You Choose USDT?

Pegged to the US Dollar, USDT minimizes the risks associated with the volatility of other cryptocurrencies. This makes it ideal for:

• Savings

• Transfers

• Trading

• Other transactions

For instance, if you send 100 USDT, both parties can be confident it will always equal 100 US Dollars, regardless of market fluctuations.
