USDT is a backed by USD and pegged to an exchange rate of USD 1 per USDT stablecoin.
BEP-20 is a token standard on BNB Smart Chain (BSC) that extends ERC-20, the most common Ethereum token standard. You can think of it as a blueprint for tokens that defines how they can be spent, who can spend them, and other rules for their usage. Due to its similarity to BNB Beacon Chain’s BEP-2 and Ethereum’s ERC-20, it’s compatible with both.
