  The Tether (USDT) reserve account is designed to maintain the value of the 700 million tokens by backing each token with a corresponding amount of real-world currency. This means that for every USDT token in circulation, there is an equivalent amount of US dollars held in the reserve account. This ensures that the value of each token remains stable and can be redeemed for its equivalent value in US dollars at any time. The reserve account is regularly audited to ensure transparency and to verify that the amount of US dollars in the account matches the number of tokens in circulation.
