GUSD: Bridging Traditional Finance with Crypto Innovation
On August 29, 2025, Gate, a global leader in digital asset trading, officially launched its newest investment product, GUSD. Backed by real-world assets (RWA) such as U.S. Treasury bonds, this digital product offers users low-risk, stable returns while introducing the reliability of traditional finance into the blockchain space. GUSD serves as a key bridge connecting TradFi and DeFi ecosystems.
Versatile Use Cases, Flexible Yield Opportunities
With the launch of GUSD, Gate now fully supports trading, deposits, withdrawals, and investment features:
- Users can directly trade USDT for GUSD on the spot market;
- Alternatively, mint GUSD at a 1:1 ratio using USDT or USDC through the “On-Chain Earn” function;
- GUSD is available as unified account margin and already supports the trading of leading token pairs;
- GUSD Flexible Savings is now available, enabling users to earn returns on idle funds efficiently.
Gate has also launched its first GUSD staking pool. Users can stake GUSD to earn distributed CELB token rewards, with estimated annual yields as high as 365%. In addition, lending and CandyDrop features are rolling out, and Gate will partner with more high-quality projects as the ecosystem matures, further enhancing liquidity incentives.
Time-Linked Growth Assets
Unlike stablecoins that function solely as exchange mediums, GUSD is designed for value appreciation.
- Returns are derived from interest distributions on underlying RWAs, such as U.S. Treasuries;
- Users don’t need to claim interest daily—principal and cumulative returns are received in full upon redemption;
- For example, minting GUSD with 100 USDT and accruing a 20% return means receiving 120 USDC at redemption.
This design provides GUSD with both stability and a growth trajectory linked to the holding period. It effectively provides exposure to a portfolio of U.S. Treasuries with potential for appreciation.
Security & Transparency: Building a Billion-Dollar Foundation
Gate plans to rapidly expand GUSD’s fund size to over $100 million and will progressively disclose:
- Proof of reserves
- Details of custodial partnerships
Gate will fully (100%) back every GUSD issued with corresponding real-world assets, verifiable by the public. Upon redemption, GUSD can be exchanged for USDC and can be flexibly swapped for USDT or other currencies. This further enhances its transparency and reliability as a dollar-linked asset. With over $4 billion in assets under management and a track record of long-term compliance, Gate provides strong assurance for GUSD’s safety and transparency.
More Flexible Global Choices
Compared with other exchanges’ RWA offerings, GUSD is designed for greater flexibility:
- Dual support for minting with USDT and USDC meets a variety of user preferences;
- Better aligned with the operational practices of global markets;
- Offers users a variety of options for returns and portfolio allocation.
