Tether

Tether (USDT) is a fiat-backed stablecoin pegged to USD, with $184.1B in circulating supply across 107 blockchain networks. Each USDT is backed by reserves held by the issuer, with parity attested via defillama. The peg has historically held within ±1% on most trading sessions, with reserve composition and attestation cadence the primary inputs to its credit-risk profile.

Launched in 2014, Tether tokens pioneered the stablecoin model. Tether tokens are pegged to real-world currencies on a 1-to-1 basis. This offers traders, merchants and funds a low volatility solution when exiting positions in the market.

Tether (USDT) is issued by Tether Holdings Limited, operating under British Virgin Islands (with operations in El Salvador). Originally launched in 2014.

Issuer information is compiled from public disclosures, NYDFS / BMA regulatory filings, and primary-source attestation reports. Always verify directly with the issuer before making decisions.

Tether (USDT) supply expanded by $59.8M (+0.03%) in the last 24 hours, expanded by $202M (+0.11%) over the past week, and expanded by $314.3M (+0.17%) over the past 30 days.

Steady issuance: supply has held roughly flat (0.17% over 30 days), consistent with mature stablecoin liquidity dynamics.

Tether circulates across 97 blockchain networks. Tron hosts the largest share at 45.58%, followed by Ethereum at 43.98%. Mantle has shown the strongest 30-day growth at +43.70%, suggesting fresh issuance or bridge inflows on that chain.

Tether (USDT) is designed to trade at exactly 1.00 USD, with its peg defended through direct redeemability against off-chain reserves. Spot price currently sits at $1.0001, a +0.013% deviation from the target — well inside the stability band typical for reserve-backed dollar tokens.

Peg-stability commentary is based on the mechanism class (reserve-backed) and is provided for educational purposes only — it is not financial advice. Past peg stability is not a guarantee of future performance, and even the highest-quality stablecoins have historically traded outside their target band during banking, regulatory, or liquidity stress.

Tether (USDT) is deployed as a token contract on 1 blockchain network below. Always verify the contract address you're interacting with on the relevant block explorer before sending funds — phishing tokens reusing well-known stablecoin tickers are common, especially on newer chains.

Contract addresses are sourced from DeFiLlama's stablecoin profile. Some chains (Tron, Solana, Aptos, Sui) use non-EVM address formats. The "Explorer" link opens the official block explorer for the given chain; we do not link out to third-party explorers that may show altered data.
