What is USDT?
USDT is a blockchain-based cryptocurrency whose crypto coins in circulation are backed by an equivalent amount of traditional fiat currencies, like the Dollar, the Euro, or the Japanese Yen, which are held in a designated bank account.
It was specifically designed to bridge the gap between fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies and offer stability, transparency, and minimal transaction charges to users. It is pegged against the U.S. dollar and maintains a 1:1 ratio with the U.S. dollar in terms of value
Why is USDT useful?
Tether is useful for crypto investors because it offers a way to avoid the extreme volatility of other cryptocurrencies.
Inconvenient Banking services: Using USDT removes transaction costs and delays that impair financial transactions. The queue at banks and sluggish services rendered by Tellers could be vexing at times. Moreover, the plight of customers is also the high cost incurred during money transfers. However, using USDT, Batswana are able to avoid the transaction fees and exchange rate margin that banks charge depending on the foreign currency.
Safe Haven Asset: USDT has a value that is designed to be stable over any period. This feature makes it an ideal safe haven asset because, unlike cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin that can fluctuate dramatically in price every day, an individual using stablecoins to store value see no risk of loss, especially because they have full custody of their asset.
Remittance: Cross-border payments and remittances are real problems for Botswana emigrants. According to a World Bank report, African migrants have to pay as high as $12 for any $100 sent home unlike other emigrants who pay as little as $6 for the same amount. Given that most migrants connect with their families back home through money and good remittances, it is sad to note that they have to spend that much. It is no secret that remittances have helped to reduce poverty levels in Botswana, as its impact is felt in family settings where money received on a monthly basis, largely contributes to financing health, education and other basic needs.
Fortunately, Batswana and other residents now have a safe platform to trade USDT with the Botswana Pula at the best rates. Moreover, USDT on Yellow Card is available on the Tron network (TRC-20) which offers cheaper network fees to transfer your usdt between wallets.
