This Is USDT And Here Is How It Works!

Tether (shortened USDT) is a cryptocurrency whose coins in circulation are backed by an equivalent amount of traditional fiat currencies, like the dollar, the euro, or the Japanese yen.
The Tether project was founded in 2015 and it's run by two companies: Tether Ltd., which issues crypto coins with a value tied to traditional currencies; and Bitfinex, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges.
Bitfinex provides liquidity to Tether solely because they are responsible for processing orders from customers converting their fiat currencies into tether tokens which are segregated as assets by the company’s directors securely eliminating any single point of failure. The goal is to create a cryptocurrency with price stability and transaction speed similar to that of traditional currencies without many of their limitations or disadvantages such as being subject to currency controls, unlike Bitcoin.
Tether has faced some criticism because it does not provide transparency on how much US dollars it holds in its reserve account and is connected with Bitfinex because they are two separate companies who also benefit from the same risks of security breaches or other hacks that could cause a significant financial loss for both parties.

Tether has mainly been used by cryptocurrency exchanges like Bitfinex to facilitate the process of converting fiat currencies into crypto tokens. As a result, no single point of failure is created because there are always two companies involved in the project: Tether Ltd., which issues coins with value tied to traditional currencies; and Bitfinex who provide liquidity for Tether.
The company claims that the reserve account contains a corresponding US dollar amount for every Tether token which is issued to customers via their platform, and they back their claim with independent audits from an accounting firm of international standing such as PwC or Deloitte. These auditors are then given access to all information and accounts of Tether Ltd.

The Tether team explains, “Every tether is always 100% backed by our reserves, which include traditional currency and cash equivalents and, from time to time may include other assets and receivables from loans made by Tether Limited.”
Apart from these audits conducted on behalf of the company itself, no one can independently verify this claim.

Since Tether is pegged to traditional currencies, it's not subject to the same wild swings in value as other popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum. Also, since two companies are involved in its success and failure – where one company issues coins with a value tied to traditional currency while another provides liquidity for Tether – there's no single point of failure.
However, it is important to note that the company does not provide transparency on how much US dollars they hold in its reserve account and this lack of information has led many people to question whether Tether can be trusted or if it will lead to a financial loss for both parties involved. It is also worth noting that if the company were to be hacked or have its servers compromised, customers could lose their money.

Cryptocurrency experts have generally been supportive of Tether because it's pegged to traditional currencies and its value is not subject to the same wild swings in price that other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are.
However, there has also been some criticism around Tether as many US dollar investors would rather put their money into an asset that can be redeemed for cash.

Tether is a novelty cryptocurrency with very limited benefits in terms of its use and application, so it's difficult to justify investing your money into this coin over other types of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum which have wider applications for their use. However, Tether does provide some stability when compared to other cryptocurrencies and its value is not subject to the same wild swings in price that are seen with Bitcoin or Ethereum.
