Description

Tether is a stablecoin designed to maintain a stable value by pegging its price to the U.S. dollar. Founded in 2014, it has grown into one of the most influential firms in the crypto industry, with reserves and attestations published to support its tokens. Tether plays a central role in global crypto markets by offering liquidity, settlement infrastructure, and a dollar alternative in regions with limited banking access. Beyond stablecoins, the company has expanded into areas such as renewable energy and bitcoin mining, signaling broader ambitions in the digital economy.

Impact

Tether provides stability in the volatile cryptocurrency market by offering a digital asset that mirrors the value of the U.S. dollar. This stability enables users to trade cryptocurrencies without the need to convert to fiat currencies, facilitates cross-border transactions, and serves as a reliable store of value within the digital economy.
