About TETHER
Tether is the world's largest and most widely adopted stablecoin, having pioneered the concept in 2014. Founded by a group of Bitcoin enthusiasts, Tether enables the digital use of fiat currencies through blockchain technology. USDT is pegged 1-to-1 with the US dollar and is backed 100% by Tether's reserves. As the first blockchain-enabled platform for traditional currencies, Tether has become a foundational building block for the global crypto ecosystem, supporting cross-border transactions without the volatility of typical digital currencies. The company is led by CEO Paolo Ardoino, Chairman Giancarlo Devasini, CFO Simon McWilliams, and COO Claudia Lagorio.
