How USD1 Works

USD1 is structured around a reserve-backed issuance model:

• Mint: New USD1 is issued when approved participants deposit dollars through supported channels.
• Redeem: USD1 is redeemed for dollars and the corresponding tokens are removed from circulation.
• Reserves: The stability of a fiat-backed stablecoin depends on reserve assets, custody, and redemption access.

BitGo has published USD1 documentation and program terms that describe how issuance, custody, and redemption operate. See USD1 Terms and USD1 FAQ.
