27 May 2026 · AngelX
USDT, also called Tether, is a stablecoin — a cryptocurrency designed to hold a steady value of about one US dollar.
Why USDT is popular
Because its value stays stable, USDT is widely used for trading, transfers, and as a way to hold value without the price swings of other cryptocurrencies.
Networks
USDT exists on several blockchains. The two most common are TRC20 (on the Tron network) and ERC20 (on Ethereum). TRC20 transfers are usually faster and cheaper.
