These Banks Manage the Dollar Reserve Backing This StablecoinTrueUSD will further expand its collaborations with banks for better solutions, offering safe, efficient, and convenient financial services for TUSD users

Stablecoins have maintained a strong growth momentum against the occasionally frustrating crypto market. Recently, the TUSD-TRX pool on the decentralized trading platform SunSwap has yielded up to 12 per cent, and the vault of TUSD achieved an APY of as high as 11.2 per cent on the decentralized yield optimizer Beefy Finance (BNB). These APYs are eye-catching indeed.

Apart from the yield, security is also a major consideration for those who seek to entrust their assets to a stablecoin service provider. In the case of TUSD, asset security is ensured by two safeguards, one being its transparent reserves. TrueUSD is attested live by Armanino, one of the largest US-based accounting firms, to ensure the 1:1 ratio of its USD reserve to its circulating token supply and thus a 100 per cent collateral rate. The other safeguard is its partner banks. The banks (or custodians) matter as they are responsible for holding the USD assets that back the value of TUSD for safekeeping. So, which banks are holding TUSD's USD reserve, and what strengths do they have?

At present, TrueUSD collaborates with five trusted partner banks: Signature Bank, Silvergate Bank, Prime Trust, First Digital Trust, and BitGo. Now we will walk you through the advantages of these banks.
