About BUSD

BUSD is a stablecoin issued by Paxos and approved by the NYDFS. BUSD is pegged to the US Dollar (USD) at a 1:1 ratio. This means that it’s available for purchase and redemption at a rate of 1 BUSD to 1 USD. Also, BUSD is green-listed by the NYDFS, making it pre-approved for trading and custody by any of the NYDFS virtual currency licensees.

BUSD is a fiat-backed stablecoin. Paxos holds in custody the equivalent of the total supply of BUSD in US dollars. For every unit of BUSD issued, one US dollar is held in reserve in FDIC-insured US banks or in cash equivalents.

Along with Paxos issuing BUSD on the Ethereum blockchain, Binance offers a wrapped BUSD token (Binance-Peg BUSD) on the BNB Chain. Because of its intrinsic properties as a stablecoin, BUSD has performed exceptionally well and established itself as a leader in the cryptocurrency space. Since its launch in 2019, BUSD has achieved tremendous growth. And it is now an asset with a $22.7 billion market cap and ranking in the top 3 among all stablecoins.
