This is one of the most divisive stable currencies in the cryptocurrency market, as it is the third most valuable cryptocurrency in terms of market value.
Its major feature is that it is 1:1 linked to the dollar, which means that each token created is backed in dollars, according to official sources.

Tether is the most popular stablecoin on the market, with a significant market share.
