From Broker Accounts to Stablecoins - How USDT Became "Direct" Money

One of the major crypto exchanges, Bitget, has launched trading for traditional financial instruments. Currencies, gold, indices, commodities - basically everything you'd expect from a regular broker.

Nothing shocking at first glance - many platforms are moving in this direction. But take a look at how Bitget markets this new service: "you can now trade ... directly with USDT."

For traders in traditional finance, the phrase "directly" should probably mean something else - like trading straight from a bank account, without routing funds through a broker.

But Bitget's marketers used the word differently. In their worldview, a trader's money isn't sitting in a bank account - it's already in stablecoins. That's why trading with USDT is what they call direct: no need to deposit anything anywhere first.

Crypto really has reshaped our thinking. It looks like blockchains have genuinely become a place where people store their funds now. And the asset that arguably played the biggest role in this shift is USDT.

So maybe it's time to say it out loud: on rabbit.io you can buy any cryptocurrency at the best rates, with no registration, directly with USDT. (And also directly with USDC, PYUSD, DAI, and other stablecoins too.)
