What is USDY?
Ondo US Dollar Yield (USDY) is a fiat-backed US dollar stablecoin issued by Ondo Finance. It has about $2.06B in circulation, ranking #11 among the stablecoins CoinScoop tracks, and runs on 14 blockchains.
USDY's price rises over time as yield accrues, so it trades above $1 by design. It is not offered to US persons.
In the issuer's words: USDY is a tokenized note secured by short-term US Treasuries and bank demand deposits, bringing institutional-grade low-risk yield to the global on-chain economy.
USDY supply history
USDY supply fell 7.0% over the past 30 days, to $2.06B. It is at or near its all-time high.
Is USDY holding its peg?
USDY passes yield through by raising its token price, so a value above 1.00 is by design rather than a broken peg.
Where USDY lives: supply by blockchain
USDY is spread across several networks. The largest, Ethereum, holds 53% of supply. Check that the token on your chain is the issuer's official contract, not a bridged copy.
How USDY is backed
USDY is backed by a tokenised note secured by short-term US Treasuries and bank demand deposits.
Minting and redemption: USDY is accessible to non-US individual and institutional investors and is transferable on-chain 40-50 days after purchase. Users request to mint USDY by sending us USDC. After 40 day mint restriction is lifted it will mint USDY tokens.
USDY risks
Your claim is on the issuer and the banks or funds holding its reserves. A failure or freeze there can break the peg, as USDC briefly did in March 2023.
Fiat-backed issuers can usually freeze tokens at specific addresses, for example to comply with sanctions or court orders.
Copies of a stablecoin moved by third-party bridges depend on those bridges. Prefer the issuer's native contract on each chain.
Rules such as the US GENIUS Act and the EU's MiCA can restrict which stablecoins exchanges list in a given country.
