Launched in 2018 by the Huobi global exchange, HUSD was originally designed as an aggregate stablecoin that offered access to Paxos Standard (PAX), USD Coin (USDC), True USD (TUSD) and Gemini USD (GUSD) on the Huobi exchange. According to Messari, in 2019 a Huobi-backed startup, called Stable Universe, decided to launch HUSD as a standalone stablecoin utilising the ERC-20 (Ethereum-based) token standard. Like all other stablecoins, it offers a way to reduce price volatility while trading in the cryptocurrency markets. The token is backed 1:1 by physical US dollars held by Paxos trust company, who are regulated by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS). To ensure all tokens are backed 1:1 by reserves, monthly audits are completed by an independent US audit firm, Grant Thornton. Alongside avoiding price volatility, HUSD can be used for the payment of goods and services.
