How to Check if Someone Has Sent You USDT via Tether

USDT, short for Tether, is a stablecoin that aims to provide price stability by pegging its value to the US dollar. If you believe you may have received USDT from someone, it's crucial to verify this through your wallet, transaction ID checks, and other methods. This guide will walk you through the process.
