What is Binance USD

Binance USD (BUSD) is a USD-backed stablecoin launched in partnership with Paxos and Binance. The coin is approved by New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS).

Stablecoin is a type of cryptocurrency which rate is pegged to the rate of another stable asset (fiat currency, commodities, etc.). Due to this peg, stablecoins are more resistant to the volatility of the cryptocurrency market.

Like many other stablecoins, BUSD was created to provide simple transactions in the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. It complies with ERC-20 and BEP-2 standards and is compatible with multiple blockchains (Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain (BEP20), Avalanche C-Chain, etc.).

As mentioned earlier, an amount equal to the actual BUSD supply is held by Paxos. The company acts as a third-party reserve in an FDIC-insured US bank. Therefore, the equivalent of each BUSD owned by the user is stored in a real bank account.

BUSD is subject to the same market fluctuations as its fiat counterpart: when the value of the dollar rises or falls, so does the BUSD token.
