What is USDT?
USDT (Tether) is the largest stablecoin by market cap, designed to maintain a 1:1 peg to the US dollar.
Issued by Tether and backed by reserves, USDT is used for trading, payments, remittances, and as a stable unit of account across exchanges and DeFi.
USDT is issued on multiple blockchains, most prominently Ethereum (as an ERC-20 token) and Tron, letting users choose between deep DeFi liquidity or low-fee transfers.
USDT is the most traded asset in crypto, serving as the primary dollar liquidity pair on centralized and decentralized exchanges worldwide.
What is Ethereum?

Ethereum uses Proof of Stake with hundreds of thousands of validators, and scales through Layer 2 networks like Arbitrum that inherit its security.
Ethereum hosts the deepest liquidity and most battle-tested applications in crypto, making it the default settlement layer for on-chain finance.
