It issues digital blockchain-based Tethers that are convertible into those bank account dollars at a 1:1 rate. 1. According to Coin Metrics, a financial data provider, Tether is now doing around $3.3 billion per day in transfer value. 3. There is a popular theory in the cryptocurrency community that expansions in the supply of Tether are being used to manipulate the price of bitcoin. This makes Tether stablecoins an incredibly hands-off way to interact with digital U.S. dollars. So post-collapse they have become more competitive with dollars in a bank account.
