仕組み・プロトコルアーキテクチャ
Fiat Reserve Collateralization
For every USDT token issued into circulation, Tether Limited claims to maintain matching reserves composed of US dollar cash equivalents, treasury bills, and liquid assets.
Users and institutional liquidity providers can redeem USDT for fiat currency through Tether’s official reserve minting facilities.
Multi-Chain スマートコントラクト Tokens
USDT does not operate its own dedicated ブロックチェーン. Instead, it is deployed as スマートコントラクト tokens across multiple major ブロックチェーンs including Ethereum (ERC-20), TRON (TRC-20), Solana, and Avalanche.
This multi-chain availability makes USDT the primary liquidity asset across crypto exchanges and DeFi lending markets.
