What is USDT?
USDT is a stablecoin issued by Tether and designed to track the US dollar. It is not the same as a bank deposit or cash, and it carries issuer, reserve, redemption, platform and regulatory risks. A dollar-linked target does not guarantee that every trade will execute at exactly one dollar.
Before purchasing USDT
- Check the official Binance service and confirm availability in your jurisdiction.
- Use only the official app or website and enable strong account security.
- Review the quoted exchange rate, fees, payment method, limits and settlement time.
- Decide whether you need USDT for trading, transfer, or another purpose, and understand the relevant risks.
Typical purchase process
- Sign in to the official service and complete any required account verification.
- Open the current buy or trade feature available to your account and choose USDT.
- Select an available payment method or trading pair and confirm the quote currency.
- Review the order preview, including amount received, price, fees, limits and terms.
- Confirm only after checking all details, then verify the completed transaction in account history.
Exact screens, funding methods and product names change and may vary by country. Use Binance’s official support pages if the steps in your interface differ.
Network choice matters when transferring USDT
USDT exists on multiple blockchain networks. The receiving platform must support the exact network you choose. Sending a token using an unsupported network or to a mismatched address can result in loss of funds. Before making a transfer, compare the sender and recipient network names, address formats, minimums and fees. For a new destination, consider a small test transfer after weighing network costs.
USDT is not risk-free
USDT can be useful as a trading quote asset, but users should consider depeg risk, issuer and reserve transparency, redemption arrangements, custody risk, exchange outages, smart-contract or network risks, and rules that apply in their jurisdiction. Avoid treating it as guaranteed savings or insured cash.
Frequently asked questions
Is USDT always worth exactly one US dollar?
No. It is designed to track the dollar, but market prices can diverge and access to redemption is subject to terms and eligibility.
Can USDT be transferred between different networks?
Only with compatible tools and supported routes. Do not assume that the same token name means networks are interchangeable.
Where can I check current purchase options?
Use the Binance Support Centre and the order preview for your own account. Check relevant issuer information at Tether’s official website.
