Is MONEY holding its peg?
MONEY is trading 0.5–2% from its target. Small coins often drift like this on thin markets. A gap that persists usually reflects redemption friction or doubts about the backing.
Where MONEY lives: supply by blockchain
MONEY is spread across several networks. The largest, OP Mainnet, holds 36% of supply. Check that the token on your chain is the issuer's official contract, not a bridged copy.
How MONEY is backed
MONEY 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: Users deposit crypto collateral to borrow MONEY, and repay MONEY to unlock their collateral.
MONEY risks
A sharp crash in the crypto collateral can outrun liquidations and leave the system under-backed.
Bugs, governance attacks or bad price feeds can drain collateral or trigger wrongful liquidations.
With $13.9M in circulation, exiting a large position may move the price. Redemption may be limited to approved customers.
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.
