Frequently Asked Questions
What's the main difference between U and USX?
Both track USD, so they compete for the same use cases. U holds stablecoin basket; USX holds overcollateralized cdp. U ranks #15 by USD value and USX ranks #20.
Which is bigger, U or USX?
U is larger, with $1.21B in circulation vs $506.6M for USX. That's roughly 2.4× the size.
Is U safer than USX?
Neither is inherently safer. Safety turns on reserve composition, issuer transparency, redemption rights and regulatory oversight — none of which this page audits.

Can I convert between U and USX?

Should I choose U or USX?
The right choice depends on your use case. Consider: which chain do you need? U is available on 3 chains and USX on 1. What backing do you prefer? What's your integration surface (exchanges, DeFi protocols, payment providers)? Both have deep liquidity, so market cap alone shouldn't decide it.
