Revival of USDR: Tangible's Road to Redemption
Tangible moves to restore trust in its depegged stablecoin USDR with a unique redemption strategy using DAI and governance tokens amidst lessons on liquidity.
February 21, 2024
Stablecoin Resilience
The once-depegged real estate-backed stablecoin USDR is on the path to redemption, as Tangible, the asset's issuer, plans to honor redemptions at 90 cents on the dollar in DAI and the remaining 10 cents in its governance token, according to CEO Jad Singh. This move illustrates the challenges and resilience within the mixed-asset stablecoin sector, facing a liquidity crisis last October.
Liquidity Lessons
The USDR's fall from its $1.00 peg to roughly $0.50 highlighted the inherent risks of backing stablecoins with illiquid assets like real estate. CEO Singh admits the miscalculation in liquidity management, acknowledging the crucial need for assets to be highly liquid to support a stablecoin effectively.
The Path to Property
Tangible is innovating by introducing a 'basket' product, allowing on-chain access to USDR's real estate backing through NFTs representing legal property rights. This pivot from a strict dollar peg aims to offer a safer investment structure, moving towards tangible asset redemption.
