A game changer for DeFi?

In order to release the new version of USDT, Tether took advantage of ASA (the Algorand Standard Asset) technology introduced in Algorand 2.0. This tech feature will help reduce the time of block confirmations to less than four seconds. It also&nbsp;promises that funds transfers will incur only&nbsp;a&nbsp;tiny cost – just a fraction of a percent. This will allow for micropayments on this blockchain.

Tether’s top executive <a href="https://u.today/interview-with-bitfinex-and-tether-cto-paolo-ardoino-on-their-new-innovative-products-next-bitcoin">Paolo Ardoino</a> said in an interview:

<blockquote>
“Our latest collaboration with Algorand leverages the speed and security of Algorand’s protocol to give traders fast settlement and reduced counterparty risk in their fiat to digital asset transactions.”

The CEO of Algorand Inc, Steve Kokinos, believes that Tether’s choice to use Algorand will make the new USD-backed coin a game changer for DeFi participants around the world.
