Is HUSD holding its peg?

Where HUSD lives: supply by blockchain
Supply is concentrated: Ethereum holds 98% of all HUSD. Moving it to another chain means bridging, or a mint and redeem through the issuer.
How HUSD is backed
Each HUSD 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: Stable Universal customers who have undergone a verification process can exchange USD for HUSD and redeem HUSD for USD.
HUSD 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.
