#Gate重磅上线GUSD **Gate officially launched the GUSD financial certificate in August 2025, providing a low-risk, stable return dollar asset management solution, while simultaneously opening up functions such as spot trading and staking pool**. Here are the details:

### **Core Features of GUSD**
- **Underlying Assets**: Supported by **U.S. Treasury bonds, high-quality USD reserves, and short-term securities** among other real-world assets (RWA), ensuring low risk and stable returns.
- **Yield Model**: The initial annualized yield is **4.40%**, with returns coming from US Treasury interest and Gate ecosystem profit sharing, supporting daily distributions.

- **Redemption**: Supports quick redemption, with liquidity close to that of money market funds.
- **Trading**: GUSD/USDT, BTC/GUSD and other multi-currency pairs for spot trading are now open, with strong liquidity.

### **Features and Activities**
- **Launchpool staking pool**：
- The first phase of staking GUSD can share **6,428,572 CELB token rewards**, with an estimated annualized return rate of up to **365%** (Activity period: starting from August 29, 2025).

- **Differentiated Design**: Set different staking limits for individual and institutional users, balancing inclusiveness and professional needs.

### **Market Positioning and Advantages**
- **Integration with Traditional Finance**: GUSD serves as a bridge connecting TradFi (Traditional Finance) and DeFi (Decentralized Finance), enabling "on-chain availability and off-chain verifiability" through blockchain technology.
- **Yield Competitiveness**:
- Compared to the USDC on-chain yield tool (annualized 2%-3%), GUSD's **4.40%** initial yield rate is more attractive.
- The risk structure is more aligned with traditional institutional preferences, with returns linked to government bonds, and stability is higher than algorithmic stablecoins or high-volatility derivatives.
