USD on SphereNet
SphereNet's USD stablecoin combines yield-bearing features with institutional-grade security and compliance. The token is backed by high-quality financial instruments and managed through a network of authorized issuers and certified custodians.
Overview
The USD stablecoin on SphereNet represents a new approach to digital dollars. At its core, the token is fully backed by yield-bearing treasury instruments, providing both stability and returns to holders. Through a unified multi-issuer framework, the system maintains a single token representation while distributing risk across authorized institutions.
Key Features
Asset Backing
Each token is backed by short-term treasury bills and other high-quality financial instruments, held in custody by regulated financial institutions. This distributed custody model eliminates single points of failure while enabling regular independent attestations. For detailed information about treasury management and yield generation, see the Issuance section.
Compliance
The USD token uses Sphere Guard and verification badges to ensure all participants meet regulatory and compliance requirements. Account owners can configure additional rules and restrictions based on their needs. Learn more in the Compliance section.
B2B Settlement
SphereNet creates a global liquidity network by connecting local financial institutions, enabling them to share and access regional currency pools efficiently. Through this interconnected system, participants can leverage each other's local currency holdings for settlements while using SphereNet's infrastructure for final clearing. Financial institutions can tap into partner liquidity pools across different regions, eliminating the need to maintain large currency reserves in multiple jurisdictions.
Market Making
SphereNet incentivizes market makers through a dual-incentive structure combining base yield earnings with active market making rewards. For detailed information about market making opportunities and requirements, see the Market Making section.
