Is it safe to hold Usdt?

Tether itself doesn’t make money , on the contrary it loses money. (buying or selling crypto at a loss, paying banks the interest rate) It was created by Bitfinex with intent of manipulatively increasing trading volume and profits made by the fees.

Tether is a confidence game and if confidence was lost, USDT could quickly become worthless . Still, getting out of Bitcoin and into Tether for a few days probably poses minimal risks. If you want to use Tether to move money between exchanges or to hold dollars for a week or two, that’s probably fine.

Tether is useful for crypto investors because it offers a way to avoid the extreme volatility of other cryptocurrencies . Furthermore, having USDT (as opposed to the U.S. dollar) removes transaction costs and delays that impair trade execution within the crypto market.
