Supply is concentrated: Berachain holds 100% of all BUSD. Moving it to another chain means bridging, or a mint and redeem through the issuer.

How BUSD is backed

BUSD is minted against crypto collateral locked in smart contracts, usually worth more than the stablecoins issued, with liquidations or hedges protecting the peg.

Minting and redemption: The initial collateral options will be USDC and BYUSD (pyUSD). New assets used to mint $BUSD can be added via governance.

BUSD risks

Collateral and liquidations

A sharp crash in the crypto collateral can outrun liquidations and leave the system under-backed.

Smart contracts and oracles

Bugs, governance attacks or bad price feeds can drain collateral or trigger wrongful liquidations.

Small and thinly traded

With $8.6M in circulation, exiting a large position may move the price. Redemption may be limited to approved customers.

Regulation

Rules such as the US GENIUS Act and the EU's MiCA can restrict which stablecoins exchanges list in a given country.
