Neutrality & Non-Affiliation Notice:
The term “USD1” on this website is used only in its
generic and descriptive sense—namely, any digital
token stably redeemable 1 : 1 for U.S. dollars. This site is
independent and not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any
current or future issuer of a “USD1”-branded stablecoin.
Welcome to USD1stablecoins.com
Your central knowledge base for all U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoins—collectively called “USD1” on this site. Whether you hold USDT, USDC, DAI, PYUSD, USDe, or the next generation of payment-grade stablecoins, USD1stablecoins.com brings you neutral, plain-English explanations, transparency on sources, and a growing ecosystem of specialized “spoke” sites that dive deep into every corner of the stable-dollar universe.
1. What Exactly Counts as “USD1”?
In its most basic form, a USD1 stablecoin is any digital token whose issuer commits to redeem each unit for exactly one U.S. dollar (or claims to maintain assets of equivalent value). We cover all models—fully reserved custodial coins such as USDT and USDC, algorithmic-hybrid designs like DAI, and newcomer payment coins such as PayPal USD (PYUSD) or Ethena’s USDe.
▸ Primary use-cases: fast settlement rails, on-chain FX hedging,
DeFi collateral, cross-border payroll, and programmable commerce.
▸ Collateral mixes: cash & T-bills, on-chain treasuries, crypto-asset
over-collateralization, delta-neutral derivatives, and more.
▸ Regulatory lenses: U.S. emanating federal bills (e.g., Clarity for
Payment Stablecoins Act), MiCA in the EU, and jurisdiction-specific e-money regimes.
2. Hub & Spoke: Our Information Architecture
Think of USD1stablecoins.com as the index fund of stable-dollar knowledge: a single, neutral entry point that orients you, then links outward to more granular “spoke” sites—one for each topic.
- The Central hub (this site): Overarching definitions, comparisons, risk frameworks, editorial standards, and a directory of all spokes.
- The Spokes: •
usdt.usd1
•usdc.usd1
•dai.usd1
•pyusd.usd1
• (1,500+ total domains reserved). Each spoke delivers a deep-dive: audits, smart-contract repos, legal entitlements, historical charts, and community commentary—without burying you in unrelated noise.
This modular approach keeps pages lightweight, avoids namespace conflicts, and offers contributors a clear sandbox for expertise.
3. Our Editorial Principles
- Neutrality First 🕊️ — We neither promote nor denigrate any particular stablecoin. Facts > narratives.
- Source Transparency 📜 — Every claim is foot-noted to primary disclosures, on-chain data, or reputable research. Hover-to-verify and click-through citations mean no black-box opinions.
- Plain-English Policy 🗣️ — We strip the jargon. If an accountant, developer, and policy-maker can’t all grok a paragraph, we rewrite it.
- Open Corrections 🤝 — Spot an error? File an issue or pull-request; we’ll credit your fix.
- No Pay-to-Play 🚫 — Listings are merit-based. We accept zero compensation from token issuers.
4. Stable-Dollar Market Snapshot (May 8, 2025)
• Total cap of USD-pegged coins has surpassed $240 billion, with daily volumes > $100 billion. • USDT and USDC still command >85 % of supply, yet newer entrants like PYUSD and USDe are growing quickly, and specialized on-chain U.S. Treasury wrappers (e.g., sDAI, Ondo OUSG) blur the line between stablecoins and tokenized money-market funds.
Regulatory momentum is accelerating worldwide; analysts at Deloitte dub 2025 “the year of payment stablecoins,” anticipating broad retail adoption through fintech front-ends and L2 settlement rails.
