Questions
Why is the INR price different from what my exchange shows?
Indian exchanges have their own order books, and their price can sit above or below the global price converted to rupees. The prices here are global averages.
Is Tether really worth one dollar?
Tether and USD Coin are stablecoins that aim to hold a value of one US dollar. Their rupee price therefore moves mostly with the dollar-rupee rate.
