Tether is the largest stable coin and the third largest cryptocurrency by market cap. You can think of stable coins as a bridge between cryptocurrencies and traditional money. Stable coins are digital currencies that have their value backed by a real-world asset, usually the US dollar. Stable coins get their name from the fact that their value is stabilized via the real-world asset they represent.
