Tether

Tether is bringing real world currency to the blockchain. 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 has made headway by giving customers the ability to transact with traditional currencies across the blockchain, without the inherent volatility and complexity typically associated with a digital currency. As the first blockchain-enabled platform to facilitate the digital use of traditional currencies (a familiar, stable accounting unit), Tether has democratised cross-border transactions across the blockchain. We believe in greater freedom, security, and access to money. That’s why we built the first real-world currency platform on the Bitcoin Blockchain. Tether provides a secure, fast, and low-cost way to store, send, and receive money on the Blockchain as if it were bitcoin.
