mUSD
A risk-minimised USD-pegged crypto asset backed by an underlying basket of USD stablecoins.
What is mUSD?
mUSD is the first meta-asset that was introduced by mStable. mUSD is USD-pegged crypto asset in its own right, backed by a basket of selected USD stablecoins. The assets currently underlying mUSD include:
On Ethereum:
- USDC
- USDT
- DAI
- sUSD
On Polygon POS-Chain:
- USDC
- USDT
- DAI
Each asset within the basket has a set of max and min weights. Currently, these are set to 5% and 65%. This means that no single asset could make up more than 65% of the basket nor less than 5%. This is to protect the basket assets in the very unlikely case of a depeg of the underlying.
