#Gate重磅上线GUSD **Gate officially launched the GUSD financial certificate in August 2025, offering a low-risk, stable-yield USD asset management solution, while also opening up features such as spot trading and staking pools**. Below are the details:
### **Core Features of GUSD**
- **Underlying Assets**: Supported by **U.S. Treasury bonds, high-quality dollar reserves, and short-term securities** and other real-world assets (RWA), ensuring low risk and stable returns.
- **Yield Model**: The initial annualized yield rate is **4.40%**, with returns sourced from US Treasury interest and Gate ecosystem profit sharing, supporting daily payouts.
- **Flexibility**:
- **Minting**: Users can exchange GUSD by staking USDT/USDC at a 1:1 ratio to participate in the issuance process.
- **Redemption**: Supports quick redemption, with liquidity close to that of a money market fund.
- **Trading**: GUSD/USDT, BTC/GUSD and other multi-currency pairs are now open for Spot trading, with strong liquidity.
### **Functions and Activities**
- **Launchpool staking pool**:
- The first phase of staking GUSD allows you to share **6,428,572 CELB token rewards**, with an estimated annual yield of up to **365%** (event period: starting from August 29, 2025).
- **Ecological functions such as CandyDrop**: Being launched one after another, enriching user profit scenarios.
- **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), achieving "on-chain availability and off-chain verifiability" through blockchain technology.
- **Yield Competitiveness**:
- Compared to the on-chain yield tools for USDC (annualized 2%-3%), GUSD's **4.40%** initial yield rate is more attractive.
- The risk structure is closer to the preferences of traditional institutions, with returns linked to government bonds, offering higher stability than algorithmic stablecoins or high-volatility derivatives.
### **User Applicable Scenarios**
- **Conservative investors**: Pursue low-risk USD asset allocation, avoiding volatility in the cryptocurrency market.
- **Long-term holders**: Obtain stable returns through staking or minting GUSD to combat inflation pressure.
- **Institutional Users**: Optimize capital management efficiency using high staking limits and transparent asset support.
**The launch of GUSD marks a breakthrough for Gate in digital financial innovation, providing a secure, transparent, and sustainable dollar investment option for the crypto market**. Users can participate in minting, trading, or staking according to their needs, flexibly allocating their assets.
