Company Description
nUSD is a stablecoin that is pegged to the UD Dollar. It was created by Havven, a decentralized payment network. nUSD has a dual token mechanism that provides stability. In order to generate nUSD, users must acquire Havven Coin (HAV) and lock it in a smart contract. 80% of their HAV holdings remain in collateral, and 20% of its value is generated in the form of newly minted nUSD. This collateral staking mechanism includes an incentive mechanism that rewards users with a portion of the transaction fees that are collected when nUSD transactions occur on the network. nUSD is currently an Ethereum-based token, but will soon be transferred to EOS. | Tether (USDT) is the largest stablecoin cryptocurrency. It is pegged to the US Dollar. (1 USDT=$1 USD) Each Tether token that is issued is backed by $1 USD that is supposedly held in reserve. Tether has been the subject of some controversy because they have failed to allow a transparent audit of their currency reserves. | Binance USD stablecoin is backed by US Dollars, and is issued in partnership by Binance and Paxos. The coin is approved by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), and allows traders to convert US Dollars to a digital version without trading fees. |
