Basic Understanding of USDT#

The exchange rate of USDT usually maintains a fixed ratio of 1:1 with the US dollar, and its price fluctuations almost synchronize with the US dollar. By searching for the USDT price on Google, you will find that it closely follows the trend of the US dollar, which is the core advantage of USDT as a stablecoin. The "T" in the name represents its issuing company, Tether, with the official website being Tether.to.

Exchange Selection Guide#

Although the Tether official website has a high threshold for purchase starting at $100,000, it can be easily purchased through its recommended trading platforms. It is recommended to use the OKX exchange, the second-largest trading platform globally, which is user-friendly for Chinese users and has low fees.
