Both BTC and USDT are accepted at Plisio checkout, but they behave differently. BTC is volatile — the USD equivalent can shift between invoice creation and confirmation. USDT tracks the dollar and settles with minimal slippage, though network fees vary by chain.
Directional claims only — no fabricated numbers. Use this as a shortlist, not a spec.
| Criterion | Bitcoin (BTC) | Tether (USDT) |
|---|---|---|
| Price stability | Volatile | Dollar-pegged |
| Confirmation time | 10–60 min typical | 1–5 min on most chains |
| Network fee | Moderate | Varies — Tron cheapest, ERC-20 higher |
| Slippage risk | Yes if price moves | Near-zero |
| Privacy surface | Pseudonymous, traceable on-chain | Pseudonymous, traceable on-chain |
| Best for | Long-held BTC holders | Predictable invoice matching |
Choose BTC if you already hold it and are comfortable with small timing-based price drift. Choose USDT for predictable invoice matching and faster confirmations, especially on Tron. Most recurring buyers at 1kreach settle in USDT.
Plisio locks the amount at invoice creation. A small overpayment/underpayment tolerance is applied.
