Tether's stablecoin is counted among the most popular cryptos on the market. But this asset, which is pegged to the US dollar, is facing difficult times. Like many of its counterparts, USDT, as it is commonly called, had a particularly tough year in 2023. An analysis by Moody's analysts indicates that during that year, the asset "depegged" several times. In other words, the crypto lost its peg to the dollar, which is the essence of its stability compared to conventional cryptos. In this context, knowing that depeg situations reached new highs in 2023, wouldn't it be wiser to be cautious of USDT? This article will try to answer this important question for investors.
