About
Binance USD (BUSD)

BUSD (BUSDBSC) is a regulated, fiat-backed stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US dollar, designed to provide price stability within the volatile digital asset landscape. Issued by Paxos Trust Company in partnership with Binance, BUSD aims to offer a reliable medium of exchange and store of value. The "BUSDBSC" ticker specifically denotes its presence as a BEP-20 token on the BNB Smart Chain, a high-performance decentralized network facilitating extensive DeFi applications. The core technology behind BUSD relies on transparent, audited US dollar reserves held in dedicated accounts, ensuring each token is backed by an equivalent amount of fiat currency. This contrasts with algorithmic stablecoins, offering a different approach to maintaining its peg and cryptographic security.

The primary utility of BUSD, particularly its BUSDBSC variant, is to enable seamless transactions and participation in the BNB Chain's ecosystem with minimal price risk. Its tokenomics are straightforward: new BUSD is minted when dollars are deposited with Paxos, and burned when redeemed, maintaining the 1:1 backing. Prominent use cases include trading against other cryptocurrencies on exchanges like PancakeSwap, serving as collateral in lending and borrowing protocols, yield farming within various DeFi applications, and facilitating peer-to-peer payments. As an NYDFS-approved (for the Paxos-issued Ethereum version) and widely adopted stablecoin, BUSD plays a significant role in providing liquidity and a trusted, compliant digital dollar representation on various blockchain technology platforms, acting as a foundational element for many Web3 infrastructures and on-chain financial activities.
