FXGate Expands into Tether

FXGate now accepts deposits in USD-pegged cryptocurrency Tether. Precious metals, energies, and indices are now available for trade against the currency for sending, receiving, and storing.

The forex and CFD broker now stands as one of the only Forex brokers that accept deposits in crypto. Chairman Ahmed Alfaraj said they pegged on USDT because it’s one of the most stable cryptocurrencies, like the US Dollar.

Solid banking relationships, stringent compliance practices, and a comprehensive legal structure helped them offer the best trading environment, added Alfaraj.

The US Dollar eliminates pricing or liquidity constraints because of its underlying fiat. Stablecoins like Tether pegged to these types of currencies make their value stable for usability.

Tether initially brought concerns of integrity when accusations like USD getting printed without the reserves to back them. Despite this, the currency’s market cap doubled from 2018 to 2019.

Dominating the Chinese market, Tether replaced the yuan as the go-to fiat currency, said a Chainalysis report. This was because China banned citizens from trading CNY for digital coins.

Roughly 40 percent of cryptocurrency exchanges, operated in the Asia-Pacific region. They also dominate trading in options and futures.
