USDm risks

Reflexive collapse

With little hard collateral, falling confidence can feed on itself, the pattern that destroyed TerraUSD in 2022.

Small and thinly traded

With $16.0M in circulation, exiting a large position may move the price. Redemption may be limited to approved customers.

Bridged versions

Copies of a stablecoin moved by third-party bridges depend on those bridges. Prefer the issuer's native contract on each chain.

Currently off peg

At the last update USDm traded at $0.9934 against a target of 1.

Regulation

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