Pros
  • Legal Protection With Escrow Accounts: Escrow accounts are one of the most widely used legal vehicles for managing other people’s money, and it enables regular attestations and strong legal protection for token holders. Full Collateral: Every TrueUSD is always fully collateralized by USD, held in a professional trust company’s escrow account. TrueUSD’s publicly audited smart contracts mint TrueUSD when USD clears the escrow accounts and burns TrueUSD when USD is redeemed to ensure a 1:1 parity between the TrueUSD in circulation and the USD in the escrow accounts. Regular Attestations: The escrow account holdings are published regularly and subject to ongoing professional attestations. Here is a recent example of attestation by Cohen & Company
Cons
  • The current fee: To purchase and redeem TrueUSD for USD: the larger of 10 basis points or $75. 10 basis points on transactions of TrueUSD between Ethereum wallets.
