What is Tether?

USDT, or Tether, is a stablecoin designed to keep the same value as one US dollar. People use it to hold dollar value, send money abroad and move between coins without the price swings of Bitcoin.

On Peerlyx you buy USDT straight from another person at a price they set in UGX, so you can pay by MTN Mobile Money or Airtel Money, the way you already pay in Uganda.
