Official Launch of GUSD
In August 2025, Gate will officially introduce its new investment certificate, GUSD—a key strategic entry into the real-world assets (RWA) market. Unlike most investment products that depend on token price swings, GUSD is backed by low-risk assets such as U.S. Treasury bonds, aiming to deliver investors long-term, predictable, and stable returns.
Users can mint GUSD on the Gate platform by exchanging USDT or USDC at a 1:1 ratio. Interest is distributed automatically each day starting from the day of minting. The initial annualized yield is 4.4%, derived from U.S. Treasury interest and the Gate ecosystem’s revenue. This structure enables investors to earn steady cash flow without exposure to major market fluctuations.
Expanded Ecosystem Features Launch
With the launch of GUSD, Gate is simultaneously rolling out an integrated suite of features spanning trading, wealth management, and account administration—delivering a comprehensive, closed-loop ecosystem.
- GUSD Minting: Goes live on August 18, 2025, supporting 1:1 dual-currency minting with USDT and USDC for maximum flexibility and convenience.
- Spot Trading: Starting August 28, 2025, GUSD/USDT, BTC/GUSD, ETH/GUSD, BNB/GUSD, SOL/GUSD, XRP/GUSD, TRX/GUSD, HYPER/GUSD, and ADA/GUSD trading pairs will be available.
- Launchpool: Opens at 18:00 on August 29, 2025, launching with CeluvPlay (CELB) as the inaugural project. Users can stake GUSD to earn free rewards, with an estimated annualized yield of up to 365%.
- Unified Account Margin: GUSD can be used as unified account margin, enhancing capital efficiency.
- Gate Earn: Adds GUSD as a flexible savings option—users can deposit or withdraw GUSD at any time for streamlined fund management.
Looking ahead, Gate will gradually launch additional features, including contract trading, leveraged lending, trading bots, copy trading, and Launchpad. For more details, view the announcement: https://www.gate.com/announcements/article/46834

GUSD features the low-risk profile of U.S. Treasury backing, flexible minting and redemption, and a wide range of functions spanning trading, wealth management, and lending. It is positioned to become the go-to choice for risk-averse investors.
