USDT deposits and withdrawals available through the Solana network!

We are delighted to announce that Kraken now supports deposits and withdrawals of Tether (USDT) through the Solana network!

Solana is an open source blockchain platform and scaling solution for decentralized applications (dApps). The platform uses a novel consensus mechanism known as Proof of History (PoH) to increase transaction throughput and is home to a growing ecosystem of DeFi protocols and NFT markets. SOL is the native token of the protocol used to purchase goods and services within the ecosystem, pay network transaction fees, and earn rewards through staking for helping to protect the network.

Here’s what you need to know about the asset:

Tether (USDT) it is the world’s largest stablecoin by market capitalization. Tether (USDT) was created in 2014 as one of the first digital assets to be fully backed 1:1 by traditional fiat currency, in this case the US dollar. Tether can be used to convert cash into digital currency and claims that all USDT in circulation reflects the amount of its US dollar reserves. This backing allows the value of Tether to remain close to $1 at all times. Learn how to add USDT to your cryptocurrency portfolio with our Learning Center article How to buy Tether (USDT).
