USDT

RamoneBolivarSanchez

Bro wtf are you talking about. UST was literally pegged to the system and other stables like USDT and USDC don’t bear the same algorithmic risks There are other risks of centralization but nothing to do with Terra Luna such that all stables are magically bad Plz educate yourself before spewing baseless nonsense

Post is by: Mammoth_Carry4325 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1r86p7f/hey_guys/ I’ve been experimenting a bit with reducing my TRON transaction costs lately, especially for USDT transfers where small burns slowly add up over time. One thing I’ve noticed is that more platforms are now supporting multiple wallet connections (TronLink, Trust Wallet, TokenPocket, WalletConnect, etc.), which actually makes it easier to test different strategies without being locked into a single setup. While exploring this, I also came across services that let you either stake TRX to generate energy or rent energy when needed instead of constantly burning TRX on every transaction. For example, I tried using TronMax just to see how the flow works with staking + renting energy, and it made me realize how much flexibility TRON users actually have now compared to before. Not saying it’s the perfect solution yet, but it does feel like the ecosystem is slowly moving toward giving users more control over how they manage resources instead of just holding TRX idle and paying fees each time. Curious how others here are optimizing their TRX usage: Do you just hold and accept the burn? Stake to generate energy? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

for large USDT holdings, issuer risk is real... diversify across chains like Ethereum, Tron, and maybe a bit into USDC. use a hardware wallet for cold storage, never keep it all on an exchange. i split mine across a couple of self-custody wallets for redundancy, one being alicebob wallet.

So previously it was possible to deposit/withdraw crypto and trade spot without KYC in most countries. But now it shows this message: **Once your cumulative deposits exceed 500 USDT, you must complete KYC verification for the funds to be credited.** Even though the tiers page still shows that the limit is 10 BTC, not 500 USDT! Seems like they introduced this change a few months ago and only for **new accounts**. Is there any explanation what's going on?

\- USDT like all stablecoins can depeg \- the smart contract itself has functions allowing to block funds there you go, 2 reasons not to use it

I’ve been in the same spot tbh. Most places either hit you with KYC or the fees are kinda brutal. Lately I’ve just been using Tokence for quick swaps straight from my wallet. No signup, no verification step, and the rates/fees have been better than a lot of the other instant swap sites I tried. Used it recently for ETH → USDT and it was pretty smooth.

Sometimes while transferring USDT, the transaction ends up burning more TRX than expected, especially when you don’t have enough energy. It can get pretty frustrating if you do frequent transfers. I’m not trying to promote anything blindly — I honestly just wanted to share a solution that helped me reduce fees. I found that using energy instead of letting TRX burn can save a noticeable amount on transactions. I came across TronMax, which basically helps provide energy and bandwidth so transactions become cheaper and smoother. If anyone here is struggling with high TRX fees, I found this step-by-step guide helpful: https://tronmax.io/how-to-buy-tron-energy-bandwidth-step-by-step� Hope this helps someone.

All of the major institutions at Ripple Swell investing into RIPPLE and XRPL...Japan, South Korea...Ripple acquiring companies to compliment the new rails utilizing XRPL and XRP... Ripple being at WEF with all the major institutions who were also present at Ripple Swell...Ripple being apart of committee to co create the Clarity act to bring the new digital age and crypto into the future... I guess all of this means nothing and Xrp is finished!... lololol, come on bro...do some serious more research and realize what XRP is going to actually be used for!! Also there is many other use cases which also gives it another edge... ITs just the beginning tides for a coin like xrp and the other utility coins which will actually matter once Clarity Act passes and institutions can begin to start utilizing and tokenizing without fear.

Honestly 6% is on the lower end for USDT yield right now. Nexo typically runs higher and you can withdraw same day so if you're actively watching for a reentry point that flexibility is worth something. The risk is the same across all these platforms you're trusting the company stays liquid. Spread it if the amount gets bigger but for $2,400 parked short term it's a reasonable move either way.

Based on how long they tried and failed. Now international payments are handled by other, such as USDT.

Logical_Lemming

You... don't think they'll be allowed to account for losses? That every tick of price increase will be taxed and every price decrease ignored? The tax is on *net* unrealized gain, not whatever you're describing. If USDT is $1 at year start and $1 at year end, and you held through that whole period, there is no unrealized gain to be taxed. Common sense, goddamn.

Just because an exchange is major doesn't mean it's reliable. On top of that, these platforms will be the primary targets for regulation as laws tighten. That's why I chose a mid-sized exchange with a license and KYC from the start. I use Monero in two ways. First, I top up my Cryptomus wallet, convert the funds to USDT, and spend them via virtual card. When withdrawing, I use Monero again — I swap it on a DEX and send the crypto to my Ledger for long-term storage.

TRC20 transfers are usually cheap, but the confusion comes from how TRON handles fees. On TRON, transactions require Energy and Bandwidth. If you don’t have enough Energy, the network burns TRX to execute the contract call (which USDT transfers are). That’s why the fee suddenly looks high. A few ways to reduce the cost: • Hold a small amount of TRX in the wallet — you need TRX to pay for Energy if you don’t have it staked. • Stake (freeze) TRX to get free Energy for transactions. • Use platforms that temporarily “rent” Energy — some exchanges handle this automatically. • Check if the wallet you’re using supports Energy estimation before sending. TRC20 is still cheaper than ERC20 in most cases, but only if you understand the Energy model. If you’re moving funds frequently, staking a bit of TRX usually pays for itself quickly.

USDT trc20 hasn't been generally cheap since 2020 lmao

I will simply point out that all of this obviously paid shilling happening around Layer Zero right now is incredibly misleading. Yes, once upon a time (2-3 years ago) LZ had quite a lot of messages. Almost all of these were "cross-chain" scam NFTs and scam tokens getting created during a cycle boom phase, zero of which remain active today. This accounts for OVER 75% of the 159M+ messages they are boasting everywhere. At this time there were roughly 50-60k messages per month. Now there are 6,000, and messages have been dropping regularly. Of the 6,000 I would be highly suspicious anything is really useful/legitimate, though I'm not going to dig any deeper, but given that they have no major DeFi partners I would guess the real messages are much lower and what we're looking at are essentially the cross-chain tx version of wash trading to boost numbers (this is likely where their USDT/USDC claims come in, just transferring money back and forth and counting that as messages). Completely ignoring the legitimacy or illegitimacy of the messages, the picture paints a dying protocol, once the most active cross-chain protocol, now second to Chainlink CCIP, where most of the transactions are coming from active DeFi protocols and actual token exchanges, not just tokens getting moved around to different dead L1 blockchains. Boasting 168 active chains when we all know the number of chains that are actually active, well.. yep. Anyway, wouldn't normally care to rectify this but it's obvious LayerZero is paying big bucks right now to try to get people to notice and buy their token. Why would they be doing that? Gee, I wonder.

Ethereum remains the dominant platform for stablecoins, especially those tied to DeFi and institutional use cases, while Tron is significant for USDT due to low transaction fees. Some stablecoins, like BlackRock's BUIDL, adopt multi-chain strategies to mitigate risks. The study highlights concentration risks for stablecoins heavily reliant on single chains and the growing role of Layer 2 solutions in the ecosystem. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

In normal conditions, no — USDT trading far above $1 for a sustained period would break the mechanism that makes it useful. Temporary spikes slightly above $1 can happen during stress or liquidity shortages, but arbitrage and issuance/redemption incentives are specifically designed to pull it back to the peg. A long-term $2 price would imply either a failed peg or that USDT is no longer functioning as a stablecoin at all.

CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap aren't exchanges. What are other exchanges showing you for prices at that time? Don't use USDT markets if you're doing USD trades on Kraken.

Post is by: Tsmacks1 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1oju517/how_quantum_computing_could_derail_crypto_and/ I asked Gemini "What happens if everyone sold stablecoins at the same time?" **Answer:** A simultaneous mass sell-off of stablecoins would likely trigger a severe crisis in the cryptocurrency market and potentially have significant spillover effects on the traditional financial system. The core issue is that a stablecoin's stability relies on confidence and the ability of the issuer to meet all redemption requests at the pegged value (e.g., $1.00 for a dollar-pegged coin). Here's a breakdown of what would likely happen: **1. Stablecoin "Run" and Peg Failure** Loss of Confidence and Peg Collapse: A mass sale is essentially a "coin run," similar to a bank run. Issuers of fiat-backed stablecoins (like USDC or USDT) would face overwhelming redemption requests. If their reserves (cash, Treasury bills, etc.) cannot be liquidated fast enough or if the market value of those reserves drops, the stablecoin would "depeg," meaning its value would fall below $1.00. Contagion Among Stablecoins: The failure of one major stablecoin would likely cause panic, leading to runs on other stablecoins, even if their reserves are considered safer. Investors would rush to sell to fiat currency (actual dollars) or the safest remaining assets. **2. Market-Wide Crypto Crash** Liquidity Crisis: Stablecoins are the primary trading pair for almost all other cryptocurrencies (e.g., buying Bitcoin with USDT). If stablecoins lose their value or become illiquid, the main mechanism for trading, hedging, and capital movement in the crypto ecosystem breaks down. Mass Liquidations: Traders and decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols that use stablecoins as collateral or for lending would be forced into mass liquidations. This selling pressure would cascade across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the entire altcoin market, causing a sharp, severe price crash. **3. Spillover into Traditional Finance (TradFi)** Forced Asset Sales: To honor redemptions, stablecoin issuers would have to rapidly liquidate their reserve assets. Since major stablecoins hold billions in real-world assets like short-term U.S. Treasury bills and commercial paper, a massive, forced liquidation could flood these markets, driving down prices and increasing borrowing costs for governments and corporations. Strain on Banks: Some stablecoin reserves are held as bank deposits. If issuers withdraw these uninsured, large deposits all at once, it could put severe strain on the banking system, especially smaller institutions. Regulatory Scrutiny and Policy Response: The event would trigger an immediate, aggressive regulatory response worldwide, focusing on how stablecoins operate and are backed, likely leading to stricter rules or even outright bans in some jurisdictions. In short, a simultaneous, mass stablecoin sell-off would be a catastrophic financial event for the crypto world, likely resulting in a deep and prolonged bear market and potentially causing significant, though probably contained, disruption to traditional financial markets. **My comments:** Now imagine Bitcoin and all other crypto's tanking at the same time. DeFi and crypto are completely vulnerable to attacks from quantum computing. These are the stakes for the necessity of post-quantum cryptography (PQC). If the "future of finance" does not include PQC, then stablecoins will be anything but stable. At the end of the day, crypto is a marketplace. And we need the market to tell crypto it values security with PQC. Sleep walking into a disaster would make a perfect excuse to centralize crypto and destroy the individual freedoms it provides. The market needs to demand this change take place. The decentralized future hangs in the balance. Quantum resistance should be embraced as a security innovation, not dismissed outright. This paradigm shift is coming and it's going to be sooner than people think. For more, see recent comments by Charles Edwards and Anatoly Yakovenko. This is no longer FUD, but reality. And quantum computing should not be feared, but seen as an opportunity to innovate. The foundational trust that crypto is built upon depends on it. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

​Tron’s high TVL is largely driven by its massive circulation of USDT (Tether). ​While Tron is great for transferring stablecoins, it serves a completely different market. ​A network can have billions in TVL but zero actual "innovation" or enterprise integration. Using Tron as a benchmark for "development" is like saying a bank is better than a software company just because the bank has more cash in the vault. ​The idea that a rank of #53 in TVL means "no one is developing" is factually incorrect. ​Transaction Volume: Hedera consistently ranks as one of the most used networks by actual transaction count (often exceeding 100 million transactions per day). ​Real-World Utility: Most of these are "Consensus Service" transactions. These don't show up in TVL because the value is in the data and the timestamp, not in locking up the token itself.

For smaller/meme coins, I use a hot wallet like Rabby on mobile, keeping them separate from my main stack. This setup gives me both secure long-term storage and daily usability without the stress of managing multiple seed phrases or relying on centralized exchanges. Hope it helps!

Its always recommendable to stake stable coins like USDT

So in hopes of you guys actualy understanding what im trying to say I had AI summarize my thoughts and ideas into this post. The core idea and all the points are mine tho, just cleaned up so its readable* Ok so I usally dont post on reddit, mostly just lurk but me and a colleague have been going back and forth on this idea and I feel like we need some outside opinions. Were not launching anything tomorrow, this is very much still in the “are we stupid or is this actualy something” phase so be honest So basicly we were discussing the stablecoin market and how its almost entirely USD denominated. USDT USDC etc. And he just goes “why isnt there one for scandinavian currencies?” And from a macro standpoint it actualy makes alot of sense The nordic economies have some of the strongest fiscal positions globally. Norways GPFG sits at roughly $2 trillion, largest sovereign wealth fund in the world. Virtually zero net public debt, consistant current account surpluses. Sweden is basicly already cashless, around 90% of transactions are digital. Denmark has maintained one of the most succesfull currency pegs in modern history, DKK to EUR via ERM II since 1987, held perfectly. After Bulgaria adopted the euro jan 2026 denmark is the only country left in ERM II. All three countries hold AAA ratings from all three major agencies So we came up with **Trekronor** ($3KR) Single stablecoin pegged to an equally weighted basket of NOK, SEK, and DKK. Esentially a synthetic scandinavian currency unit, think the old ECU before the euro but for the nordics and on chain. Name comes from “Three Crowns”, symbol of scandinavian unity since the kalmar union 1397 Why its diffrent Most stablecoins give you single-currency exposure to USD, meaning full exposure to fed policy, US fiscal risk, dollar inflation. $3KR spreads across three independant monetary regimes with low correlation to each other and to the dollar. From a portfolio theory standpoint thats objectively a better risk-adjusted position Not totaly uncharted territory btw The closest thing anyones done in the nordics is Monerium, an icelandic company that launched EURe back in 2019, basicly the first fully regulated euro stablecoin on blockchain. They got an e-money license from the central bank of iceland and have processed over €6 billion in volume. And just last year SEB (one of swedens biggest banks) joined a consortium to launch a MiCA compliant euro stablecoin expected sometime 2026. So theres clearly institutional appetite for this kind of thing in the region. The diffrence is nobody has done it for the actual scandinavian currencies themselves, its all euro denominated. Thats the gap were looking at Use cases ∙ Nordics-native store of value without FX risk against home currencies ∙ Diversifaction for holders overexposed to USD stablecoins ∙ Cross-border settlement for intra-nordic trade ∙ Global access to scandinavian stability without foreign bank acccounts Under MiCA this classifies as an asset-referenced token (ART) since its pegged to a basket rather then single fiat. Over 50 MiCA licenses granted across EU as of late 2025 so the regulatory path is relativley clear Ticker: $3KR. Self explanitory Before you rip us apart – we know Look were not pretending we have all the answers thats literally why were posting this. But weve thought about the obvious pushbacks ∙ “nobody will use this over USDC” – yeah the network effect is real, were not trying to compete with USDC for global dominance. The play is more niche, nordics focused first, people and businesses that actualy operate in these currencies daily ∙ “liquidity in three small currencies is a nightmare” – yep. NOK SEK DKK are not deep markets like USD or EUR. Reserves in three currencies means 3x the complexity. We know this is probaly the hardest practical problem ∙ “ART classification under MiCA is harder then EMT” – also true. More capital requirements, stricter governance, ESMA oversight. Its not a walk in the park but its also not impossible, the framework exists ∙ “Monerium has €6B volume but tiny market cap so regulation ≠ adoption” – fair point honestly. Thats exactly the kind of thing we need to figure out before going further Were not here to shill anything. This is genuinley us trying to figure out if theres something here or if we should move on. So yeah, poke holes in it thats what we want *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Only 12 years? Still a newbie all things considered, but so willfully ignorant for that entire span of time. They allege no one will agree to audit them. They’ve never done any audits. Anyone will audit them if they pay and agree to provide the records. If a firm refuses to audit even allegedly due to reputational risk, then it means Tether the client is not being forthcoming about their records. It’s not hard to understand.  The lack of audits in absolutely a deliberate decision. No one who wants to get an audit is unable to do so in the history of business. There is plenty of incentive behind just reputation such as MiCA and GENIUS. That they had to make a new coin entirely rather than just audit USDT says it all.  Thus, if it hasn’t been done, coupled with their intentionally misleadingly worded pages, it’s clear they’re trying to play the PR misinformation gameand refusing to do a proper audit. If you don’t agree with that, well there’s no getting through to that smooth brain of yours.  You’re basically saying you agree with the only innocent scenario I could come up with  — they’re clean but too dumb to make the obvious choices for Tether. Rather than that they’re hiding something. Amazing, really.

Feels like a good time to accumulate. Phemex’s TradeFi Futures is pretty interesting too, letting you trade stocks, forex, gold and more using USDT.

Why are we looking at web traffic instead of on-chain metrics? When is the last time you visited the website for USDC, USDT, Bitcoin or Ethereum?

Bitcoin has never had a guaranteed floor. BTC has dropped 70–85% multiple times after being “too important to fail.” ETFs reduce volatility over time, but they do not eliminate deep drawdowns. > “Bitcoin is staked with the US and Chinese government” This is false. Bitcoin cannot be staked (that’s Proof-of-Stake; BTC is Proof-of-Work). The US government holds BTC mainly from seizures (Silk Road etc.), not strategic staking. China officially bans Bitcoin trading and mining; it does not back or stake BTC. There is no sovereign staking or backing of Bitcoin. > “Bitcoin is backed by US Treasuries” Flatly incorrect. Bitcoin is not backed by anything, by design. Some stablecoins (USDT, USDC) hold US Treasuries — Bitcoin does not. ETFs may hold BTC custodially, but that is not “backing.” > “BlackRock and Coinbase are staked” Wrong terminology again. BlackRock’s ETF custodies Bitcoin, it doesn’t stake it. Coinbase acts as custodian, earning fees — not staking BTC. > “Bitcoin is more valuable at lower prices” Not economic truth. Lower prices may increase future upside and adoption incentives. But Bitcoin’s network value, security budget, and miner economics improve at higher prices, not lower. Unlike the dollar, BTC does not gain utility from being weaker. > “For Bitcoin to fail, USD and JPY would have to fail” This is provably false. Bitcoin could fail due to: regulatory bans protocol failure loss of miner security superior competing tech Fiat currencies can survive just fine without Bitcoin. Bitcoin is not systemically required for fiat survival.

Stablecoins for the US dollar are privately issued cryptocurrencies designed to maintain a 1:1 peg with the USD, usually backed by cash and US Treasury reserves. While no federal government-issued stablecoin exists yet, the most prominent, regulated options are USD Coin (USDC) by Circle and Tether (USDT).

USDT quietly becoming the real settlement layer

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Tether, the issuer of the USDT stablecoin, froze over $500 million in digital assets linked to an illegal gambling and money-laundering syndicate in Turkey. The assets were reportedly tied to Veysel Sahin, accused of running the network. This marks one of the largest asset seizures in the cryptocurrency sector. Tether's CEO, Paolo Ardoino, highlighted the company's cooperation with law enforcement, reflecting its shift towards transparency and regulatory compliance. Tether has also frozen over $3 billion in assets since its inception. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

The recurring BTC purchase couple is BTC/EUR? I don't need to swap EUR in USDT or USDC for the recurring BTC buy? What if I edit the DCA to increase or decrease the amount? Do I pay the first week fees again? Thank you for your help

Apatheticguy__46

Investing small chunks every day in USDT is a good move? Suppose in future I can trade it with some other crypto

-5H4Z4M-

It all depends of your strategy, \-some people buy alot of stable coin to keep them on exchanges in case a good opportunity comes so they can quickly trade it for another crypto \-Some people just replace their us dollars to stable coins to keep it online, they stake it and generate a percentage of profit. \-Some people buy USDT to keep their portfolio balance safe in case their other crypto crash, stablecoin will always stay at the same value, so if you have 5000 USDT and all your other crypto goes to 0, you will still have a balance of 5000 USDT (5000 dollars). You just need to set a strategy if you want start your crypto journey.

-5H4Z4M-

You can if you want, but you have to know that if you just buy USDT and let it on your wallet, nothing will happen. If you buy 100 dollars of USDT , you will have 100 USDT, if you buy 10 000 dollars of USDT, you will have 10000 USDT. If you want generate some profit, you will have to stake them to get a percentage of rewards.

You’re expecting at least 1 USDT? And why should any of us send you even 0.1 USDT?

1 USDT Atleast I'm expecting 😭🙏🏻

If you really want to position for dips, I’d structure it instead of just increasing BTC allocation. For example, you could remove small caps completely or trim 5% from emerging markets and keep that portion in USDT. Then, if BTC drops another 20-30%, you use that USDT to buy more. If it doesn’t drop further, you just hold it and wait. That way you’re not increasing overall portfolio risk right now, and your portfolio actually stabilizes a bit during heavy swings. You’re creating flexibility without stacking more volatility on top of an already aggressive setup.

-5H4Z4M-

USDT is a stablecoin from the company Tether, it's called "stable coin" because it's a crypto asset pegged to Us dollar means that 1USDT = 1 USD always. You can stake it for rewards, or trade it for another crypto asset, or buy more or sell all. To withdraw this you only need to sell it to get Fiat (usd, euro, etc) then you can send this Fiat to your bank account. Don't answer any DMs , if you have questions, write it here in public.

Agreed, I would have done the same. Funny thing is some customers sold the BTC on the platform, which bought Bithumb some time to freeze the USDT/USDC that were exchanged from the BTC the customers sold. Not to mention the current price of BTC is not attractive for selling as well, so they should have just transferred those BTC to their wallets and hold.

kitrz77

I mean, I wouldn’t count USDT and USDC.

Tron is used heavily for USDT.

jawni

>Why not just use Ethereum? Forget Ethereum, why not use any other chain with stables? Well because Tron had a great GTM strategy and is now very entrenched. They were early with EVM-compatible cheap transfers from Binance, they made sure TRC-20 tokens were usable on big exchanges, they onboarded businesses in areas that would benefit from stablecoin usage. Binance made USDT popular through trading, Tron redirected that towards payments.
