Strengths and weaknesses
Pros	Reserves legally ring-fenced under a Bermuda Monetary Authority digital asset license Yield accrues automatically to wallet balances through daily rebasing Collateral backed 100% by US Treasury bills and short-term equivalents Permits wrapping to cUSDO for wider protocol compatibility across DeFi	Over $90 billion in liquidity on the Tron network alone Completed a full independent US GAAP financial statement audit by KPMG U.S Maintained a reserve surplus over liabilities of $6.814 billion at year-end 2025 Supported across virtually every major centralized exchange and trading pair
Cons	$100,000 minimum subscription excludes smaller retail participants from primary minting Redemptions settle strictly in USDC rather than direct fiat bank transfers Primary access is unavailable to United States residents and entities Secondary trading on decentralized exchanges risks temporary deviations from the peg	European spot trading pairs delisted under EU MiCA regulatory requirements Issuer retains smart contract authority to freeze token balances arbitrarily CFTC found reserves were fully backed on only 27.6% of days in 2016-2018 No direct yield paid to retail stablecoin token holders
Best for	Non-US corporate treasuries holding idle capital, Institutional investors seeking tokenized US debt, DeFi lenders using wrapped treasury collateral	High-frequency crypto exchange traders, Cross-border transfer recipients outside the EU, Tron network settlement users
