Launched in 2014, Tether is a blockchain-enabled platform designed to facilitate the use of fiat currencies in a digital manner. Tether works to disrupt the conventional financial system via a more modern approach to money.

Tether Tokens exist as digital tokens built on several leading blockchains, including Algorand, Celo, Cosmos, Ethereum, EOS, Liquid Network, Solana, Tezos, Ton, and Tron. These transport protocols consist of open source software that interface with blockchains to allow for the issuance and redemption of Tether Tokens. Every Tether token is 100% backed by Reserves, which includes traditional currency, cash equivalents, and other assets.
Tether Tokens are assets that move across a blockchain just as easily as other digital currencies but that are pegged to real-world currencies on a 1-to-1 basis. Tether Tokens are referred to as stablecoins because they offer price stability as they are pegged to a fiat currency. All Tether Tokens are pegged at 1-to-1 with a matching fiat currency (e.g., 1 USD₮ = 1 USD) and are backed 100% by Tether's Reserves.
Tether supports US dollars (USD), Mexican peso, and Gold, with the following Tether Tokens, respectively: USD₮, MXN₮ and XAU₮.
Tether Tokens enable businesses – including exchanges, wallets, payment processors, financial services and ATMs – to easily use fiat currencies on blockchains. Some of the largest businesses in the digital currency ecosystem have integrated Tether Tokens. Individuals can also use Tether-enabled platforms to transact with Tether Tokens.
