There’s a new way to try to mitigate the risk of holding dollar-pegged stablecoins.
PieDAO, the decentralized organization building diversified token pools on the Balancer protocol, announced the mainnet release of its USD++ pool on Tuesday. The pool combines several of the top USD-pegged stablecoins into one tradable token. It’s another example of a creative use case of the rapidly growing Balancer protocol—and of the expanding universe of ideas DAOs are working to address.
The USD++ pool will contain Maker DAI, Synthetix sUSD, Trust Token's TUSD, and Coinbase's USDC. USDC will make up more than 47% of the USD++ pool while sUSD has the lowest weight; it will make up less than 4%. The weighting strategy is intended to create low volatility and trust minimization for medium- and long-term holders.
What happens when a new community emerges to combine their financial IQ into automated smart indexes? The creators of PieDAO intend to find out. Developed by the minds behind crypto wallet Dexwallet and point-of-sale service Dexpay, PieDAO is a new decentralized organization allowing its users to vote on the creation and parameters of pooled index funds composed of different ERC20 tokens on the Balancer protocol. PieDAO’s DOUGH token is used for governance, and the DAO infrastructure for the pro...
“Holding stablecoins can be a tricky task; finding the balance between trust minimized and stability is hard,” Dexwallet CEO and PieDAO coordinator Alessio Delmonti told Decrypt. “During intraday trading, using one stablecoin compared to another does not make much of a difference. However, this is only true for short-term holding.”
Delmonti continued: “Medium and long term holding is where the importance of low volatility around the peg and trust in the security model of the coin matters the most. USD++ fixes that.”
USDC is a centralized stablecoin controlled by Coinbase and is the second-largest stablecoin by total supply. TrustToken’s TUSD or TrueUSD launched in 2018 and are backed by audited escrow deposits of user funds held by registered fiduciaries and banks.
Earlier in 2020, PieDAO introduced BTC++, which combined a variety of Bitcoin-backed derivatives on Ethereum into a single Balancer pool token. So far, more than 65 BTC++ tokens have been minted by various liquidity providers.
“Personally, I believe USD++ is a big step forward to diversified portfolios which want to hold confidently cash positions,” Delmonti said. “I'm sure it will be a core component for future PieDAO creations.”
Editor's note: This article has been updated to clarify that it is TrustToken's TUSD, and not Tether, that is included in the USD++ pool. An earlier version also confused 'TrueBTC' with tBTC. We regret the error.

Top college football prospect Matai Tagoa’i is set to join football stars like Russell Okung, Odell Beckham Jr., and Trevor Lawrence by receiving his compensation in Bitcoin.

The exact details of his package are not known, but some college football players, such as Shedeur Sanders, have received estimated payouts of up to $4....
The world’s largest asset manager BlackRock just debuted a new advertisement proselytizing the virtues of Bitcoin, but rather than cheer on the Bitcoin ETF issuer for its efforts, Bitcoiners aren’t happy. The video, which is housed on the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) ETF page on BlackRock’s website, spends three minutes walking viewers through the evolution of money and key fundamentals of Bitcoin. One of those fundamentals is Bitcoin’s 21 million fixed token supply. While the video explains t...
El Salvador may have reached a deal with the International Monetary Fund that will see the tiny country scale back its Bitcoin law—but it’s still going to “HODL.” And it might even step up its BTC buys. That’s according to Stacy Herbert, the head of El Salvador’s National Bitcoin Office, who wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter) Thursday that the country may even continue buying the cryptocurrency at an “accelerated pace” going forward. El Salvador in 2021 made Bitcoin legal tender along with...
