Tether Price

Tether (USDT) is a cryptocurrency listed on global exchanges and tracked across major data providers. It currently ranks #3 among all cryptocurrencies by total market value. It belongs to the Stablecoins and USD Stablecoin category. Live price, market cap, trading volume, and historical performance are displayed on this page and refreshed continuously.

Tether (USDT) is a centralised stablecoin issued by Tether Limited, pegged 1:1 to the US dollar. Each USDT is intended to be backed by reserves (cash, US Treasuries, secured loans, and other assets) held by the issuer. USDT exists as separate token contracts deployed on multiple blockchains — most notably Tron and Ethereum, with smaller deployments on Solana, BSC, and others. Tether publishes quarterly attestation reports describing its reserve composition. USDT does not have a consensus mechanism of its own; it inherits security from whichever chain its tokens are deployed on.

Tether has no hard supply cap. There are currently 184,289,823,355 USDT in circulation, and the supply continues to grow at a rate determined by the protocol's issuance schedule.

Tether reached an all-time high of $1.32 on July 24, 2018. Currently the price sits 22.7% below this peak. All-time highs are useful benchmarks for assessing the asset's historical price range, but past performance does not predict future results.

Tether (USDT) is traded on most major cryptocurrency exchanges, including Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, Bybit, and Bitstamp. Availability depends on your jurisdiction and the exchange's listings. After purchase, many users transfer their USDT to a self-custody wallet for long-term storage. This information is educational and does not constitute investment advice.

Cryptocurrencies, including Tether, are highly volatile and carry significant risk of loss. Over the past year, USDT has lost approximately 0.1% of its value. Whether Tether is appropriate for a given portfolio depends on the investor's individual risk tolerance, time horizon, and financial situation. Always research the project's fundamentals, understand the risks, and only allocate capital you can afford to lose. This page provides market data only, not personalised investment advice. Consider consulting a licensed financial advisor before making investment decisions.

Bitcoin (BTC) was the first cryptocurrency, designed primarily as a digital store of value and peer-to-peer payment network with a fixed supply of 21 million coins. Tether (USDT) focuses on stablecoins use cases, with a different technical design, supply schedule, and ecosystem. Bitcoin derives its value primarily from scarcity, security, and brand recognition, while Tether's value is tied to adoption within its specific use case and underlying network effects.

Tether (USDT) has a market capitalisation of approximately $187.98B, which ranks it #3 among all cryptocurrencies. Market cap is calculated as the circulating supply multiplied by the current price and is the most common way to compare the relative size of cryptocurrencies. It updates continuously as the price moves.

The price of Tether (USDT) is set continuously by supply and demand across global exchanges. The main factors are its circulating and maximum supply, trading volume and liquidity, overall crypto-market sentiment, its correlation with Bitcoin, regulatory developments, and real adoption of the underlying network. Because the market trades 24 hours a day, the price can change at any moment.

No one can reliably predict the future price of Tether or any cryptocurrency. Where sufficient history is available, this page shows a model-based forecast range derived from historical volatility and trend — it should be read as a scenario illustration, not a target or a promise. Crypto prices are highly volatile and shaped by events no model can foresee, so always do your own research and never invest more than you can afford to lose.

"Safe" depends on two separate things: how you hold Tether (USDT), and price risk. For custody, use reputable exchanges and consider a self-custody hardware wallet for larger amounts, and never share your private keys or seed phrase. For price, every cryptocurrency is volatile and can lose value quickly, so only commit capital you can afford to lose. Being listed on major exchanges is not an endorsement or a guarantee against loss.

Whether Tether can be staked depends on its consensus mechanism. Proof-of-Stake networks let holders lock USDT — by running a validator or delegating to one — to help secure the network and earn rewards. Check Tether's underlying technology first, use only reputable providers, and be aware that staked funds can face lock-up periods and, on some networks, slashing penalties.
