The Role of Tether in Emerging Markets
Tether plays a crucial role in regions experiencing high inflation and limited banking options. Many countries face challenges with their local currencies, seeing drastic devaluations against the US dollar. For example, the Turkish lira has lost significant value, making USDT an attractive alternative for individuals lacking traditional banking access. Tether prioritizes these emerging markets, where users primarily seek a stable digital currency, making financial inclusion a central mission.
