How SPUSD is backed
SPUSD 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: SPUSD is minted by wrapping sUSDC and can always be unwrapped back to sUSDC, with SPUSD burned on redeem. The peg is supported by reserves deployed in on-chain lending strategies and an automated market-making bot on the SPUSD/USDC PancakeSwap pool.
SPUSD 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.
Rules such as the US GENIUS Act and the EU's MiCA can restrict which stablecoins exchanges list in a given country.
