The company’s financial performance has also been notable in recent months, with a $2.8 billion net profit in the fourth quarter of 2023 and an all-time-high increase in USDT’s excess reserves.&nbsp;</p>
 <p>Available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play, the Oobit app connects with its native blockchain wallet, allowing for payments in Tether, Bitcoin, and various other digital currencies.</p>
