GUSD: A new stablecoin experience combining real-world assets

Stablecoin Evolution Pathways

Historically, most stablecoins have simply offered stable value. GUSD charts a new course: backed by U.S. Treasury bonds and other real-world assets (RWAs), it goes further by protecting your principal and allowing users to accrue and redeem interest, operating like an on-chain bond. GUSD is more than a payment instrument; it’s a yield-bearing asset, opening new opportunities for Web3 investors.

Flexible and Simple Ways to Participate

Gate provides two streamlined entry points for users to join the GUSD ecosystem:

• Spot market exchange: Instantly swap USDT for GUSD—fast and convenient.

• On-Chain Minting: Users holding USDT or USDC can mint GUSD at a 1:1 ratio, giving full control over asset allocation.

After obtaining GUSD, it can serve as a daily transaction medium and be integrated into your investment strategy to unlock more opportunities.

Distinctive Yield Mechanism

Unlike most stablecoins that calculate interest daily, GUSD settles yield at maturity in a lump sum. For example, if a user mints GUSD with 100 USDT and the underlying asset earns 20% during the period, the redemption amount will be approximately 120 USDC. This model aligns GUSD with traditional promissory notes, while Gate also offers flexible options so investors with varying risk profiles can find the right fit.

Staking and Community-Powered Rewards

To boost engagement, GUSD integrates both base yields and community incentives:

• Staking Yields: Gain stable returns via the staking pool.

• Bonus Rewards: In select promotions, users can earn up to 365% annualized yield (see official details).

Looking forward, GUSD will expand to cover lending, Launchpool, CandyDrop, and more, so users benefit from both earning and the social rewards of community participation.

GUSD Core Highlights

Compared to standard stablecoins, GUSD delivers several unique strengths:

1. Time Value: Accumulate interest over the holding period, not just maintain face value.
2. Dual-Token Minting: Supports both USDT and USDC for greater flexibility.
3. Unified Scenarios: Transactions, margin, investment, and staking—all in one ecosystem.
4. Compliance and Transparency: Ongoing disclosure of reserve proofs and custodial details ensures 100% coverage.

These features make GUSD not simply a stablecoin, but a customizable, yield-generating asset.

Enhanced Yield Distribution

Gate has recently optimized GUSD yield payouts:

• Multi-channel yield access: Whether acquired via spot trading, deposits, or lending, all GUSD holders are eligible for yield distribution.

• Yield remains accessible regardless of how GUSD is used: Minting yields remain available even when GUSD is used in Launchpool or investment products.

This design sharply improves capital efficiency and helps users maximize returns across all scenarios.

High Liquidity and Easy Exit

GUSD can be instantly redeemed for USDC and quickly converted to USDT or other assets. Its design is streamlined and flexible, ensuring your capital can be transferred easily and efficiently without unnecessary barriers.
