What is USDsd?

How USDsd Maintains Its Peg

USDsd maintains its 1:1 peg to the US dollar through a sophisticated delta-neutral strategy that combines crypto asset collateral with derivatives hedging:

Crypto Asset Collateral

USDsd is backed by crypto assets like ETH, BTC, and stablecoins (USDT, USDC) held as collateral
2

Delta-Neutral Hedging

Simultaneously holds long positions in crypto assets and equivalent short positions in perpetual futures
3

Price Stability

Fluctuations in crypto asset prices are offset by corresponding gains/losses in short positions
4

Yield Generation

Revenue generated from staking rewards and positive funding rates on short positions
5

Reward Distribution

All generated yield is distributed to sUSDsd holders as rewards
