BUSD is a stablecoin pegged to the US Dollar (USD), issued by Paxos. Approved by the NYDFS, BUSD is available for purchase and redemption at a rate of 1 BUSD to 1 USD.
In addition, BUSD is green-listed by the NYDFS, making it pre-approved for custody and trading by any of the NYDFS’ virtual currency licensees.
BUSD is a fiat-backed stablecoin that maintains a U.S. dollar peg. For every unit of BUSD, there is one US dollar held in reserve. In other words, an amount of U.S. dollars equal to the total supply of BUSD is held in custody by Paxos, acting as its reserves in FDIC-insured U.S. banks.
