Stablecoin

 tether the cryptocurrency has grown into an important cog in the global financial system, with as much as $190 billion changing hands daily.

In essence, tether is a digital U.S. dollar—though one privately controlled in the British Virgin Islands by a secretive crew of owners, with its activities largely hidden from governments. 

Known as a stablecoin for its 1:1 peg to the dollar, tether gained early use among crypto aficionados. 

But it has spread deep into the financial underworld, enabling a parallel economy that operates beyond the reach of U.S. law enforcement.
