Still Trusting USDT in 2025? Curious What Everyone’s Using

[James Henry]

Tether’s like that old reliable friend who’s always around, right? Sure, it has some transparency issues, but it’s hard to ignore its presence — especially in all those USDT pairs. As for me, I’m using more USDC and crvUSD too, just because of that peace of mind with their backing and transparency. But I’ll admit, I still keep some USDT in my portfolio just in case. Anyone here fully avoiding it, or is it still the go-to for most? Let’s hear your stablecoin picks for 2025!

Tether's dominance seems to be driven more by habit and widespread adoption than sheer trust, given its longstanding presence in the market despite transparency concerns. It remains a go-to for many due to its liquidity and prevalence in trading pairs. However, stablecoins like USDC and crvUSD are gaining traction because of their stronger transparency and regulatory backing, especially with growing concerns around Tether's offshore operations. In 2025, I’d expect USDC to remain a popular choice for users prioritizing stability and trust, though Tether still holds its place due to market familiarity and demand.

Tether's dominance isn't about trust it's about sheer inertia and convenience. People have been using USDT for so long that it’s ingrained in the system, even though the transparency issues and offshore issuance should make anyone cautious. The fact that it's still the go-to stablecoin despite all the FUD speaks volumes about how much people prioritize liquidity and trading pairs over underlying stability.


Let’s be honest, USDT is everywhere because it’s easy, it's always there, and it works for the masses who need quick, cheap, and fast transactions. But don’t kid yourself into thinking it’s the best stablecoin it's just the most convenient.

Totally agree — USDT thrives on momentum, not merit. Convenience wins in crypto, but long-term stability and transparency still matter more than most realize.
