What is TrueUSD?

TrueUSD is a stablecoin based on the Ethereum blockchain (ERC-20 protocol). It was released in March 2018 by TrustToken. She is known for creating digital analogues of real assets that can be traded on exchanges.

TrueUSD is backed 100% by the dollar at a 1:1 ratio. Rafael Cosman, one of the founders of stablecoin, explained the creation of TrueUSD by the fact that the company wants to satisfy the high demand for a stablecoin. TrueUSD is considered a fully legal cryptocurrency as it is fully licensed to operate in the United States.
