What is Tether
Selling USDT is mechanically the simplest crypto sell, because USDT is designed to track one US dollar. The price almost never moves materially. The story is everything else around it.
The flow is the same as any other crypto sell. Send USDT to a regulated platform, complete KYC, agree on the sell rate (typically within a fraction of a cent of one dollar), and choose how you want the cash. USDT exists on multiple blockchains; the most common are Ethereum (ERC-20), Tron (TRC-20), and Solana. The sell platform typically supports several. The network fee for sending USDT depends on which chain you use: Tron transfers cost cents, Ethereum can cost several dollars during congestion, Solana costs fractions of a cent.
Why people sell USDT is usually less about taking profit and more about settling positions. USDT is the dominant trading pair on most centralised exchanges, so traders accumulate it as a working balance and periodically rotate it back to fiat. Some holders use USDT in countries with currency controls or unstable local currencies, where holding dollar-denominated savings on-chain is more practical than holding US dollars in a bank. Selling in those cases is converting to local currency at a rate that may differ from the open USD market.
USDT has had multiple market events worth understanding. In 2022 it briefly broke peg during the Terra-Luna collapse, dipping to around 96 cents before recovering. In 2018 the price oscillated between 96 and 99 cents for several months over reserve concerns. Tether publishes regular attestations of its reserves, and 2024 and 2025 saw further disclosure improvements, but USDT remains a stablecoin issued by a private company and the peg is a contractual arrangement subject to issuer and market risk.
Regulatory framing matters. In the European Union, MiCA's rules on asset-referenced and e-money tokens have constrained which stablecoins can be sold to EU retail customers; USDT is not a regulated MiCA stablecoin and is not offered through Banxa to retail customers in the EU. In the United States, USDT is widely available through licensed off-ramps; state-level rules vary. Country pages cover specifics.
Selling USDT through Banxa is the standard flow. Pick USDT, choose the network (ERC-20, TRC-20, SOL, or others as supported in your country), enter the amount, complete KYC, send to the deposit address. Confirm the network and address before sending; sending USDT to an address on the wrong chain typically loses the funds.
USDT is a stablecoin, not a savings product. The peg is a contractual arrangement subject to issuer risk. This is not financial advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Usually not in any material way. USDT is designed to track one US dollar and trades within fractions of a cent of parity on most days. There have been historical exceptions (briefly in 2018 and during the 2022 Terra-Luna event) where USDT traded at 96 to 99 cents for short periods. Sell rates on regulated platforms reflect the live market price at execution.
Whichever the deposit address specifies. USDT exists on multiple chains and they are not interchangeable: USDT on Tron and USDT on Ethereum are different tokens for transfer purposes, even though they redeem one-for-one through Tether. Sending USDT on the wrong chain to a deposit address typically results in lost funds. Banxa shows the network alongside the address. Confirm both before sending.
Banxa does not offer USDT to retail customers in the European Union. MiCA rules on asset-referenced and e-money tokens require specific authorisations that USDT is not currently issued under. EU customers can buy and sell other supported assets through Banxa Europe IV. Customers outside the EU can sell USDT through Banxa where local regulations permit.
