Utility
- The Gemini Dollar is available and utilized in trading pairs on multiple cryptocurrency DeFi projects, including: 1Inch, AAVE, Argent, Balancer, Curve, X DerivaDEX, Harvest, Maker, Uniswap, Yearn, Zapper and Zerion.
Proof of Solvancy
- A new concept, to prove a stablecoin is indeed backed one to one by US Dollars.
- Gemini dollars are constructed to fulfill this requirement.
- Gemini Dollars are created when customers buy them with US Dollars, which are then deposited in a FDIC insured savings account.
- Thus the Gemini Dollar is the first, and perhaps only stablecoin which is FDIC insured.
Safety
- Based on it being FDIC insured, and backed 1:1 by US Dollars, it is perhaps the safest of the dollar backed Stablecoins in the cryptocurrency market, and some might argue it is the safest stablecoin on the market by traditional finance standards.
- What do you think?
