How to exchange USDT BEP20 for XTZ safely and at a good rate
If you hold USDT BEP20 and want Tezos, you don’t need an exchange account. At ROVEN exchange the swap takes a few minutes: you see the final amount in advance, and an operator checks every order by hand.
USDT BEP20 is the Tether stablecoin on BNB Smart Chain, with fast and cheap transfers. Tezos (XTZ) is a smart contract blockchain that upgrades through holder votes, without hard forks.
Why swap USDT BEP20 for XTZ
A stablecoin is a handy way to hold dollars, but to benefit from market growth or use the Tezos network you need XTZ itself. With XTZ you get access to the apps, staking and tokens of the Tezos network.
