What is Tether (USDT)?

Tether (USDT) is a stablecoin: a digital currency designed to keep the same value as the US dollar, with 1 USDT aiming to equal US$1. It launched in 2014 and has grown into the largest stablecoin in the world, and one of the three largest digital assets by market value. Tether says every USDT is backed by its reserves, mostly short-term US government debt and cash equivalents, and it publishes quarterly reports on what those reserves hold. USDT runs on many blockchains, including Tron and Ethereum, which carry most of the supply. People use it to move money between platforms quickly, to hold a US dollar–linked balance without leaving crypto, and as a common pair for buying and selling other digital assets.

What affects the price of Tether in Australian dollars?

Tether is designed to stay close to US$1, so its price doesn't swing like most digital assets. What it costs in AUD mainly depends on:

The AUD/USD exchange rate

When the Australian dollar weakens against the US dollar, each USDT costs more in A$, and vice versa. This is the biggest factor for Australian buyers.

Confidence in Tether's reserves

USDT holds its value because people trust it can be redeemed for US$1. In periods of market stress, its price has occasionally moved slightly away from US$1 for a short time.

Regulation

Rules for stablecoins are developing in Australia, the US and Europe, and new rules can affect where and how USDT is available.
Tether is designed to track the US dollar, but it isn't a bank deposit and isn't government-guaranteed.
