In the issuer's words: GUSD is a flexible, principal-protected investment product that distributes rewards daily. Its returns are sourced from the Gate ecosystem's revenue, tokenized treasuries or other RWA, and stablecoin-backed yield assets—designed to provide relatively stable yields in both bullish and bearish market conditions. Additionally, GUSD is fully tradable and can be used as collateral.
GUSD supply history
GUSD supply was flat over the past 30 days. It is at or near its all-time high.
Is GUSD holding its peg?
GUSD is trading within 0.5% of its target, which is normal for a healthy stablecoin.
Where GUSD lives: supply by blockchain
Supply is concentrated: Ethereum holds 100% of all GUSD. Moving it to another chain means bridging, or a mint and redeem through the issuer.
How GUSD is backed
Each GUSD is meant to be redeemable for one unit of its reference currency, backed by reserves such as bank deposits and short-term government debt held by the issuer or its custodians.
Minting and redemption: You can stake USDT/USDC to mint GUSD as a yield-bearing certificate. Upon redemption, GUSD will be converted to USDT/USDC at a 1:1 ratio.
GUSD 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.
Rules such as the US GENIUS Act and the EU's MiCA can restrict which stablecoins exchanges list in a given country.
