FAQs

What is Tether?

Launched in 2014, Tether is a blockchain-enabled platform designed to facilitate the use of fiat currencies in a digital manner. Tether works to disrupt the conventional financial system via a more modern approach to money. Tether has made headway by giving customers the ability to transact with traditional currencies across a blockchain, without the inherent volatility and complexity typically associated with a digital currency. As the first blockchain-enabled platform to facilitate the digital use of traditional currencies (a familiar, stable accounting unit), Tether has democratised cross-border transactions across a blockchain.

Tether Tokens exist as digital tokens built on several leading blockchains, including Algorand, Celo, Cosmos, Ethereum, EOS, Liquid Network, Solana, Tezos, Ton, and Tron. These transport protocols consist of open source software that interface with blockchains to allow for the issuance and redemption of Tether Tokens. For a full list of supported blockchains and protocols, please see our Supported Protocols Page.

Every Tether token is 100% backed by Reserves, which includes traditional currency, cash equivalents, and other assets, including receivables from loans made by Tether to third parties.

The Tether platform is fully reserved when the sum of all Tether Tokens in circulation is less than or equal to the value of our Reserves. Through our Transparency page, anyone can review information about both of these numbers at any time. Please see "How often does Tether provide its transparency information?" for more information.

Tether was originally created to use the Bitcoin network as its transport protocol—specifically, the Omni Layer—to allow transactions of tokenised traditional currency. Tether on the Ethereum blockchain, as an ERC20 token, is a newer transport layer, which now makes Tether Tokens available in Ethereum smart contracts or decentralized applications on Ethereum. As a standard ERC20 token it can also be sent to any Ethereum address.

Since Tether Tokens are currently available using different transport protocols, when users send Tether Tokens to other addresses, they need to carefully check the destination address to confirm they are selecting the correct transport protocol.

Tether Tokens are assets that move across a blockchain just as easily as other digital currencies but that are pegged to real-world currencies on a 1-to-1 basis.

Tether Tokens are referred to as stablecoins because they offer price stability as they are pegged to a fiat currency. This offers users a low volatility solution when utilizing digital currencies.

All Tether Tokens are pegged at 1-to-1 with a matching fiat currency (e.g., 1 USD₮ = 1 USD) and are backed 100% by Tether’s Reserves.

As a fully transparent company, we typically publish daily information about Tether Tokens in circulation and quarterly information about our Reserves on the Transparency pages. Please see "How often does Tether provide its transparency information?" for more information.

Tether supports US dollars (USD), euros, Mexican peso, offshore Chinese yuan, and Gold, with the following Tether Tokens, respectively: USD₮, EUR₮, MXN₮, CNH₮ and XAU₮.

Tether Tokens enable businesses – including exchanges, wallets, payment processors, financial services and ATMs – to easily use fiat currencies on blockchains. Some of the largest businesses in the digital currency ecosystem have integrated Tether Tokens.
