# Why USDT joins Algorand ??

USDT is already an multichain digital dollar as they are already present on , Omni blockchain, Ethereum, tron & also on liquid network.
 __So why they are joined Algorand blockchain ???__
It all started with the launch of __Algorand 2.0__ when the blockchain is able to launch token on there own blockchain with the trust and all features of Algorand. Algorand is really fast which is 1500 transactions per second which really fast if you compare with ethereum which is currently capable of 12-15 transactions per second. Algorand is permission less blockchain which makes more simple fir other projects to join the blockchain. And all this comes with secure and low transactions fee which makes Algorand an great choice for Tether to join the blockchain.

USD Coin is digital currency operated by __CIRCLE__ which is really big project they are trying to make global payment system with there digital currency, when you are using USDC then you are using fully secure ured asset because it is backed by US dollar with 1:1 ratios which make you trust when you are using USDC. There track record is 100% till now & looks like they will be in future. 

# why USDC join Algorand ??

Till now USDC is only available on ethereum blockchain, which is outdated at this time on ethereum the translation speed is slow , making cost is high , transaction fee is high sometimes more than you purchase or trade then it is really important for USDC to find an alternative to grow there ecosystems if they want to grow there platform world wide then here comes the solutions when then joins algorand blockchain high transactions speed which is 1500/sec which is really high compared to ETH , lower making cost, negligible transactions fee which is absolutely opposite of ethereum so to improve there USDC ecosystems they have joined the __Algorand blockchain__ which solves all the problems of USDC at current senecio which is an great step by __Circle__.
