What is Tether USD?

What is Tether USD used for in 2024?

USDT can be transacted over Ethereum, Bitcoin's Omni layer, EOS, and Tron in the same manner as ether, bitcoin, eos, and tron, respectively. If a user wishes to redeem USDT they can send tokens to an address controlled by Tether Ltd. who will destroy the tokens and transfer fiat currency to the user's bank account. Tether’s existence on public blockchains allows traders and exchanges to use USDT as an alternative to fiat currencies, reducing or eliminating the need for banking relationships and outsourcing custody of fiat currencies to Tether Ltd.

Tether USD technology explained

Tether relies on a proof-of-reserves system to ensure that reserve assets match circulating tokens. This requires a third-party to audit Tether’s bank accounts on a regular basis to show that U.S. dollar reserves are held in an amount equal to outstanding tokens. Tether uses an IOU issuance model where each USDT represents a claim for $1.00 held in the Tether's reserves which users can redeem at any time.

On Bitcoin, USDT tokens are issued via the Omni Layer protocol, which is a protocol built as a layer over Bitcoin that allows for the issuance of tokens representing any kind of asset.

On Ethereum, USDT tokens are issued using the ERC-20 protocol standard for creating tokens on Ethereum. ERC-20 tokens include a common set of rules that define how a token can be transferred, approved, and requested.

Tether USD governance

What is Tether USD governance?

Tether Limited is the sole entity capable of altering the circulating supply of USDT tokens. Tether issues tokens when users deposit fiat currency into bank accounts operated by Tether Limited while Tether destroys tokens when users redeem tokens for fiat currency deposits in Tether bank accounts. In order to prove that reserves exist and the system is solvent, Tether relies on a proof-of-reserves system whereby the system is fully collateralized when the number of USDT in circulation matches the value of the funds held in accounts operated by Tether Limited. Tether Limited has pledged to upload audits of its bank balances on its website to ensure transparency and prove solvency.

Tether Limited and cryptocurrency exchange, Bitfinex, share common ownership through parent company iFinex.

Who regulate Tether USD in 2024?

Tether, along with parent company iFinex and related company Bitfinex, is the subject of an ongoing NYAG Investigation in connection with ongoing activities that may have defrauded New York investors that trade in virtual or “crypto” currency.

In April 2019, the New York Attorney General’s office alleged that Bitfinex, who shares the same parent company, iFiniex, with Tether, used reserves from Tether to cover up $850 million in losses that were tied up in a controversial third party payments processor named Crypto Capital. Days after the NYAG's action, Stuart Hoegner, general counsel for Bitfinex and Tether, filed an affidavit confirming that Tether was backed by only 74% cash and equivalents with the rest being equity in iFinex.

In May 2019, Bitfinex and Tether CTO, Paulo Ardoino announced Bitfinex had successfully raised $1 billion in a token sale, with proceeds used to cover the $850 million in (potentially) lost funds from Crypto Capital.
