USDT can be seen as a digitized US Dollar with all benefits of cryptocurrencies but bare minimum risks.

Tether in 2019 disclosed that at one time, USDT was pegged to $0.75 due to insufficient reserves.

USDT hit off trading platforms as the first Stablecoin in February 2015 and has ever since been one of the most traded digital assets on the market.
USDT does not operate on its own blockchain network, rather as a Layer-2 currency over Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
