I'm a bit puzzled. Why does it cost so much to send USDT? It's just a digital currency, isn't it? Shouldn't the transaction fees be relatively low compared to traditional banking systems? I understand that there are network fees involved, but the prices I've seen for USDT transfers are significantly higher than what I would expect. Can you explain what's causing this? Why does it cost so much to send USDT?

The transaction fees are influenced by multiple factors, including network congestion. Congestion occurs when there are numerous transactions being processed simultaneously, leading to increased fees as users compete for network space.

Another factor that affects transfer fees is the chosen transfer speed. Users can opt for a standard transfer, which typically takes longer but costs less, or an expedited transfer, which is faster but costs more.

The policies of the wallet or exchange also play a role in determining transfer fees. Different wallets and exchanges have their own fee schedules, which may vary based on factors such as user activity, trading volume, or membership status.
