-->USDT is a stablecoin (stable-value cryptocurrency) that mirrors the price of the U.S. dollar, issued by a Hong Kong-based company Tether.
-->Originally launched in July 2014 as Realcoin, a second-layer cryptocurrency token built on top of Bitcoin’s blockchain through the use of the Omni platform, it was later renamed to USTether, and then, finally, to USDT. In addition to Bitcoin’s, USDT was later updated to work on the Ethereum, EOS, Tron, Algorand, and OMG blockchains.
-->USDT’s unique feature is the fact that its value is guaranteed by Tether to remain pegged to the U.S. dollar.
-->The current Market Cap ranking is #3, with a live market cap of $80,414,616,968 USD.
-->Tether has been the target of a lot of FUD due to its murky balance sheet and lack of a public audit.
