01 / The basics
What is USD₮,
in plain language?
USD₮ is a digital token issued by Tether that is designed to maintain a value close to one US dollar. Its use and availability depend on the network and service you choose.

Built for a dollar reference
The goal is a value close to $1, but market prices can deviate. Stability is an objective—not an unconditional guarantee.

Moves on blockchains
Depending on the version, USD₮ can be transferred using supported blockchain networks, wallets, exchanges, and other services.
