Tether price prediction: USDT forecast for 2022, 2023, 2024
THE price of Tether has remained stable after soaring to a 2021 high in mid-April.
The Tether , which is also known as USDT, was officially launched as Realcoin in 2014, but has since changed its name.
It's described as a "stablecoin", which is a type of cryptocurrency that aims to keep crypto values stable.
Tether aims to do this by pegging the price to a regular "fiat" currency, like US dollars, Euros or the Chinese yuan.
Tether claims to keep values steady by holding reserves in that currency in a bank.
However, keen investors should know that cryptocurrencies are volatile, and you risk losing all your money.
In other words, don't invest more than you can afford to lose, or into anything you don't understand.
There's scant regulation for cryptocurrency firms, meaning you'll have no protection if and when things go wrong.
