A USDT address is a unique alphanumeric string (26–34 characters long) used for storing and managing USDT cryptocurrency. As a blockchain-based stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US dollar, USDT requires this address for transactions — similar to a bank account number. Example address: 1PyMi4EYzGZKoxK7DozMGHoQ91EdrMMkBP.
