Binance Labs has made a $10 million investment in Usual, a decentralized stablecoin protocol on the verge of significant advancements in this field.

A Bold Step into Stablecoins

Usual has quickly emerged as one of the most innovative players in the stablecoin market. The protocol has secured over $1.4 billion in total value locked (TVL), positioning itself among the top global stablecoins. Rather than relying on fiat reserves, Usual integrates real-world assets such as US Treasury Bills, allowing for the tokenization of physical assets into the DeFi space.

The Growing Appeal of Tokenized Real-World Assets

Usual's success is largely due to focusing on tokenizing real-world assets. By aggregating assets from reputable institutions like BlackRock and Ondo, Usual enhances the liquidity of traditionally illiquid assets, providing broader access for investors. However, the integration of RWAs into DeFi remains challenging, as evidenced by fewer than 5,000 holders on the mainnet possessing RWA assets.

A New Era for Governance in Stablecoins

Usual introduces a fully decentralized governance model. $USUAL token holders participate in decision-making and benefit from profit redistribution, offering greater transparency and security for stablecoin users.

Amid the growth and evolution of DeFi, Usual presents a novel approach to stablecoins, enhancing accessibility and security for users while engaging the community in protocol governance and development.
