Tether works to disrupt the conventional financial system through a more modern approach to money.  It has made headway by giving customers the ability to transact with traditional currencies using blockchains as transport layers, without the volatility and complexity typically associated with a digital currency.  As the first blockchain-enabled platform to facilitate the digital use of traditional currencies — a familiar, stable accounting unit— Tether has created a revolutionary building block that companies worldwide can use to offer democratised cross-border financial services.
