GUSD Bridges TradFi and DeFi—Offering 365% Staking Yields and Real-World Stability

Gate.io, a prominent cryptocurrency exchange, has launched a new wealth management certificate called Gemini Dollar (GUSD), offering users access to spot trading, Yubibao, and associated wealth management features. GUSD can be exchanged for USDT in the spot market or minted at a 1:1 ratio through "On-Chain Coin Earning," allowing for flexible trading and stable value appreciation. With major currency pair trading opening on August 29, Gate also introduced its first GUSD staking pool, offering users the chance to earn a share of 6,428,572 CELB tokens. The annualized yield for stakers is estimated to reach up to 365%. Additional features such as CandyDrop are being rolled out incrementally.

GUSD is a digital wealth management platform backed by real-world assets (RWAs), including U.S. Treasury bonds, providing users with low-risk, stable returns. By integrating blockchain technology, GUSD aims to bridge traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi), offering users a more robust asset allocation option. Gate plans to partner with high-quality projects to launch more GUSD staking pools, enhancing liquidity and market appeal while offering a secure, transparent, and sustainable digital wealth management solution.

According to recent data, the trading volume of GUSD has experienced a surge, reaching $2,427,593.54 in the last 24 hours, reflecting a 1,682,699.60% increase compared to one day prior. The token has a current market capitalization of BTC181.5911 and ranks 1310 on CoinGecko. The fully diluted valuation (FDV) of GUSD is also BTC181.5911, assuming the maximum supply of 50 million tokens is in circulation. The token's all-time high and low prices are BTC0.059074 and BTC0.058820, respectively.

The stablecoin market has seen rapid growth in 2025, with stablecoins facilitating $27.6 trillion in transfer volume in 2024 and reaching a combined market capitalization of $227 billion by early 2025. These figures surpass the combined transaction volumes of traditional payment giants like Visa and Mastercard. Stablecoins are increasingly used as the base currency for crypto trading, with over 80% of trading volume on major exchanges involving stablecoins. This trend is driven by their utility in enabling seamless global transfers and acting as a de facto reserve currency in emerging markets.

Regulatory developments are also shaping the stablecoin landscape. In the U.S., the 2025 GENIUS Act mandates federal approval and reserve auditing for stablecoin issuers. GUSD, issued by Gemini Trust Company, is regulated under New York's Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), ensuring that each token is fully backed by cash or high-quality collateral. Such regulatory frameworks are enhancing trust among businesses and institutional investors, enabling stablecoins like GUSD to serve as safe and reliable options for cross-border B2B payments and remittances. As stablecoin adoption continues to rise, they are increasingly seen as a transformative force in the global financial infrastructure.
