  Tether maintains its stable price through a combination of factors. Firstly, Tether is backed by reserves of traditional fiat currencies, such as the US dollar, which helps to provide stability. Secondly, Tether Limited, the company behind Tether, claims to maintain a 1:1 ratio between Tether tokens and the corresponding fiat currency reserves. This means that for every Tether token in circulation, there should be an equivalent amount of fiat currency held in reserve. This helps to instill confidence in the market and maintain the stable price. Additionally, Tether Limited regularly undergoes audits to ensure the transparency and accuracy of its reserve holdings, further contributing to the stability of its price.

  Tether's stable price is maintained through a combination of market demand and supply management. When the demand for Tether increases, Tether Limited issues more Tether tokens, which increases the supply and helps to stabilize the price. Conversely, when the demand decreases, Tether Limited can redeem Tether tokens and reduce the supply, again helping to maintain the stable price. This supply management mechanism allows Tether to adjust its token supply in response to market conditions, ensuring that the price remains stable despite being a digital currency.
