What is the smallest unit of Tether (USDT)

[atomicoblivion]

Hello everyone,

I was looking into the divisibility of a few cryptocurrencies and found no information on whether USDT has a smallest sub-unit.

Is it possible to send someone $0.01 USDT? What about $0.001 USDT? Does it depend on the blockchain?

Any information would be appreciated.

There is no specific sub unit for USDT, but you can regard to it as the US $ since that's its pegged value, so it's only logical to presume it's smallest subunit is the Cent.

And yes, it is possible to send 0.01 or 0.001 USDT or their equivalent in USD (which would almost be the same value because it's stable coin).

If you're trying to deposit/withdraw from an exchange, be sure to check the minimum deposit/withdraw allowed, some exchange restrict USDT transactions to round figures.

This is an interesting question, for example when we have up to one usdt we say we have $1 or more but when it is in it's minutest amount it is called or measured in cent,an example is $0.50 ,this is called 50cent because it isn't upto 1 usdt. So cent is the smallest unit of USDT.

I have not tried sending less than 1 USDT, but such a possibility exists. I have projects in which I receive dividends from my investments in USDT and there I receive daily 0.02 USDT, but the minimum withdrawal from the platform is 10 $

That's true and it has called penny in the past when it was not yet changed into the cent as the smallest unit of dollar. USDT is totally pegged with the dollar and that makes sense to take it as the best answer for OP

That link is also giving a really good answer too.

let's see the eth blockchain for this token

https://etherscan.io/token/0xdac17f958d2ee523a2206206994597c13d831ec7

I see the minimum value of 0.000001
You can also easily look at other blockchains and find the answer to your question.

USDT is a stablecoin. It's quite similar to USD so I think you can deposit as much as you like, as long as you have money to pay the transaction fee. I have never deposited less than 10 USDT, so I don't know for sure when you make a trade of $ 0.10 it will work.

On the ETH blockchain, it is very easy to see the minimum value for the token

we see that after the decimal point there can be 6 digits
