I've been hearing a lot about Tether recently and I'm curious if it's really backed by USD. I want to understand if there's a dollar reserve supporting every Tether coin in circulation.
The peg is 1-to-1. This refers to the fixed exchange rate between Tether tokens and their corresponding fiat currency. For example, one USD₮ token is always equal to one US dollar. This makes it easy for users to understand and use the tokens.
