Frequently asked
01Why USDT payouts instead of USD?
USDT (Tether) is a 1:1 USD-pegged stablecoin paid on-chain. Benefits: no bank account needed, instant settlement, works internationally, no $50+ wire fees. Useful for non-US affiliates and anyone wanting non-bank rails.
02Which exchanges pay USDT to affiliates?
Binance, OKX, Bybit, KuCoin, MEXC, Bitget, Gate.io, BingX, HTX — basically every major CEX pays USDT to the same wallet you use for trading. Most require zero minimum payout.
03Are USDT payouts taxed?
Yes. USDT receipt is taxable income at fair-market USD value on the day received. Same as USD income for tax purposes — track every payout date and amount. Tools like Koinly or CoinLedger automate this from your wallet.
