About Tether
Tether was founded by a group of Bitcoin enthusiasts and early adopters, passionate about facilitating the use of fiat currencies in a digital manner. In 2014, the company launched Tether.to, a blockchain-enabled platform aimed at disrupting the conventional financial system with a more modern approach to money.
A visionary approach and a pioneering spirit
As the first blockchain-enabled platform to facilitate the digital use of traditional currencies—a familiar, stable accounting unit—Tether has created a revolutionary building block that companies worldwide can use to offer democratised cross-border financial services.
With Tether tokens, customers can confidently transact with traditional currencies using blockchains as transport layers, without the volatility and complexity typically associated with a digital currency.
A growing team around the world
Tether is led and managed by a senior management team with extensive experience in financial services, technology, and compliance. Drawing on the expertise of a diverse and dynamic team spread across the globe, Tether tokens have grown from being the first to the largest stablecoin by volume today.
