Pay with USDT · TLT
Want to put your Tether (USDT) to work in iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT)? On GM Markets you can buy tokenized TLT, backed 1:1 by real shares, funding the purchase with USDT. This guide covers how the USDT-to-stock flow works, the live price, the fees, the risks, and the steps to place your first order.
Funding
Tether (USDT) is a US-dollar stablecoin on Ethereum, so its value tracks the dollar. It is the most direct way to fund tokenized-stock purchases without price swings on the cash leg.
About the fund
TLT is an exchange-traded fund that holds US Treasury bonds with remaining maturities of twenty years or more, providing exposure to the long-dated end of the government bond market. It aims to track an index of these long-term Treasuries before fees, and its share price moves inversely to changes in long-term interest rates.
The bull case
Investors point to TLT for exposure to income from US government debt, a way to add duration to a portfolio, and a potential counterweight to equities during periods when investors seek safer assets.
Key risks
Because it holds only long-dated bonds, TLT carries very high interest-rate (duration) risk, meaning its price can fall sharply when long-term rates rise, and it also reflects shifts in inflation expectations even though US Treasuries carry minimal credit risk.
