Binance's stablecoin: BUSD (Binance USD) is a stablecoin issued by Binance, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges. It was launched in 2019 in partnership with Paxos Standard, a company specializing in blockchain services and digital assets. BUSD is designed to maintain a stable value and is backed by the US dollar (USD) on a 1:1 basis, meaning that theoretically every BUSD in circulation is backed by one US dollar held in reserve.
Features:
BUSD is primarily used as a medium of exchange, store of value, and stable accounting within the cryptocurrency ecosystem. It allows users of Binance and other platforms to exchange cryptocurrencies for a stable digital currency without having to go through traditional currencies. This offers several advantages, such as reduced transaction costs, greater speed, and better accessibility for users around the world.
BUSD is based on the Ethereum blockchain and follows the ERC-20 standard, making it compatible with a wide range of wallets, applications, and blockchain services. It is also available on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) blockchain as a BEP-20 token.
