Introducing HUSD Token, Huobi's First True Stablecoin
SINGAPORE, July 18, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

With industry-leading regulatory compliance, straightforward fiat onramps, and 
full integration into Huobi Global, HUSD Token offers stablecoin users a true 
alternative to Tether.

Huobi–along with partners Stable Universal and Paxos Trust Company – are 
pleased to announce a better option for stablecoin users. On Monday, July 22, 
Stable Universal will launch HUSD Token, the first regulated stablecoin fully 
listed and integrated with Huobi Global – and an alternative to Tether (USDT). 

What Sets HUSD Token Apart?

--To ensure full backing of every HUSD token and regulatory oversight, every 
dollar backing HUSD Token will be held in reserve by the Paxos Trust Company, a 
fiduciary and qualified custodian under the New York State Department of 
Financial Services (NYDFS). This means that HUSD Token carries a high level of 
industry-leading compliance currently available for a stablecoin. 
--Full integration into Huobi Global, one of the largest and most liquid 
cryptocurrency exchanges in the world. 
--A simple, fast, and straightforward fiat onramp and offramp via a 
soon-to-launch service by Stable Universal, where HUSD Token can be purchased 
and redeemed. The service will be located at stcoins.com. HUSD Token will also 
be integrated into Huobi OTC. 

The tokens will be issued by Stable Universal. 

"Providing better options to the cryptocurrency community has always been one 
of our biggest priorities here at Huobi," said Livio Weng, CEO of Huobi Global. 
"We are proud to partner with Paxos and Stable Universal on this pioneering 
project and look forward to bringing the new HUSD Token to over ten million 
users across Asia and the world. It is truly exciting to see the HUSD project 
grow from a stablecoin solution to a stablecoin in its own right."

HUSD will be distinct from Huobi's current HUSD system. In the coming days, 
Huobi will transition from that current system (a solution that allows multiple 
stablecoin denominations to trade as one) to the new HUSD token. HUSD Token, 
designed as an ERC-20 token, will also be available to be listed on other 
exchanges, wallets, and cryptocurrency platforms. 

Frank Zhang, CEO of Stable Universal, said, "In today's cryptocurrency markets, 
traders always need access to a safe, trustworthy stablecoin that is fully 
redeemable and limits risk exposure. HUSD Token is reliable and designed to be 
efficient and simple - we believe it's the best fiat on-ramp and will be a 
game-changer in the space. We're excited that Huobi will list HUSD Token, 
allowing us to build liquidity quickly with their massive customer base. 
Combined with the sterling reputation of Paxos, we are offering a product with 
the highest level of oversight and protection." 

In addition to trading HUSD Token on Huobi Global, users can also get HUSD 
Token 1:1 for USD through Stable Universal. Paxos will manage all "Know Your 
Customer" and anti-money laundering compliance reviews for these account 
openings, in addition to holding the USD deposits in reserve. On a monthly 
basis, a top U.S. auditing firm will perform an attestation to ensure USD 
reserves match the supply of HUSD. Stable Universal will work with third 
parties for smart contract audit and on-chain transaction monitoring. 

Richmond Teo, Paxos Co-Founder and CEO of Paxos Asia, commented, "Paxos 
maintains a unique position in the crypto-asset space because of our regulatory 
stack and deep commitment to protecting customer assets. Trust underpins all 
aspects of our own products, and we are proud to now offer trust-as-a-service 
to power HUSD, a new stablecoin for Huobi Global. This is a new model that 
allows other innovators to create safe, trusted and fully-backed solutions that 
support wider crypto-market adoption for cash and assets using our unique 
regulated status. This is just the beginning of what Paxos can offer as we 
build the future of digital assets."
