Preface

On August 29, 2025, Gate will introduce GUSD—a yield-bearing structured product backed by U.S. Treasuries and other real-world assets (RWA). GUSD brings stable, traditional finance-style interest rates on-chain, enabling users to access U.S. dollar fixed income within familiar crypto scenarios.

What is GUSD?

GUSD is a U.S. dollar-denominated asset that accrues yield over time. Its underlying holdings are high-quality RWAs, such as U.S. Treasuries. All accrued yield is paid out with the principal upon redemption—e.g., mint GUSD with 100 USDT, and if the total yield is 20%, redeem for 120 USDC. There is no need for daily manual claiming, reducing user workload and operational costs.

Multiple Use Cases—No Idle Funds

• Spot Conversion: Instantly swap USDT for GUSD within the marketplace.
• On-Chain Yield Minting: Mint GUSD 1:1 using USDT or USDC.
• Trading & Margin: Use GUSD as unified account margin—supported across major trading pairs.
• Flexible Savings: Access GUSD flexible savings and put idle funds to continuous work earning interest.

Layered Incentives: Staking and Ecosystem Activities

The initial GUSD staking pool is live. Stake GUSD to share in CELB token rewards, with projected APYs up to 365% (see the event page for specifics). Additional programs like lending and CandyDrop will roll out, and future collaborations with leading projects aim to further boost liquidity and incentive sources.

Security and Transparency

Gate plans to scale GUSD beyond $100 million and will gradually disclose reserve audit reports and custody details to ensure full, 100% asset backing. Users can always redeem GUSD 1:1 for USDC and easily convert to USDT or other assets as needed. Drawing on Gate’s experience managing over $4 billion in financial assets and its strong record of regulatory compliance, GUSD delivers robust security and operational transparency.

Built for a Global Audience

Unlike many RWA products, GUSD supports both USDT and USDC for minting, accommodating diverse regional funding preferences and reducing entry barriers.
