About Gemini Dollar
Gemini Dollar is a stablecoin created by Gemini, one of the largest cryptocurrencies in the United States. Today, GUSD is one of the largest stablecoins in the market. GUSD is pegged at a 1:1 ratio to the U.S. dollar (USD), meaning a GUSD is equal in value to $1 USD. It was launched by Gemini Trust Company and is owned by the billionaire Winklevoss twins. The Winklevoss brothers have stated that the coin aims to bridge the divide between the traditional finance sector and the crypto world.
Gemini received approval from the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) to launch its stablecoin (GUSD) in 2018. The Winklevoss brothers have emphasised that this helps set their coin appart, stating that the coin is the ‘world’s first regulated stablecoin’, as it's regulated by the NYDFS. For every 1 GUSD issued, there is 1 USD held at Trust company and State Street Bank.
The Gemini Dollar is an ERC20 token, which means it was built atop the Ethereum network.
