I recently heard about a digital currency called Usdt, but I'm not very familiar with it. Could someone please explain what
USDT is, its background, and how it works? I'm curious to know more about this digital asset.

Initially, Tether's value was pegged to the U.S. dollar at a 1:1 exchange rate.

This meant that one Tether was equivalent to one U.S. dollar.

The cryptocurrency exchange BTCC offers a range of services, including spot, futures, and wallet options. Among other things, Tether altered its collateral from being 100% backed by U.S. dollars to a combination of U.S. dollars and other assets. These other assets include accounts receivable from loans that Tether has made to third parties.
