Bitcoin vs Tether: what the numbers say
At the latest snapshot, 1 BTC = 60,211.724138 USDT.
By market capitalisation, Bitcoin is the larger network — about 6.5× the size of Tether in AUD terms. Larger caps generally mean deeper liquidity on Australian exchanges and tighter spreads, while smaller caps can move more sharply on news or thin order books.
Over the past seven days, BTC is down 5.29% while USDT is up 1.57% — Tether has out-performed by 6.86 percentage points. Short-term percentage moves show momentum but say nothing about long-term value.
Australian buyers can trade both Bitcoin and Tether on AUSTRAC-registered exchanges such as CoinSpot, Independent Reserve, Swyftx and Kraken AU. Each disposal — including swapping BTC for USDT — is a CGT event under ATO guidance, so keep records of the AUD value at the time of every trade.
