USD1stablecoins.com – Knowledge Base network about Stablecoins pegged 1:1 to the US Dollar

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. federal proposals (e.g., Clarity for Payment Stablecoins Act), the EU’s MiCA, 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.

1. The Central hub (this site): overarching definitions, comparisons, risk frameworks, editorial standards, and a directory of all spokes.
2. The Spokes: 1 500+ reserved domains. Each spoke delivers deep-dives — 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. 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 above $100 billion.
• USDT and USDC still command > 85 % of supply, yet newer entrants like PYUSD and USDe are growing quickly.
• Tokenized U.S. Treasury wrappers (e.g., sDAI, Ondo OUSG) blur the line between stablecoins and money-market funds.
• Deloitte analysts dub 2025 “the year of payment stablecoins,” anticipating broad retail adoption through fintech front-ends and L2 settlement rails.
