The Gemini Dollar (GUSD) was created and is issued by Gemini Trust Company, LLC, the cryptocurrency exchange and custodian founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. A key differentiator for GUSD is its regulatory status. It was launched in September 2018 after receiving approval from the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), making it one of the first regulated stablecoins in the United States. The issuance and management of GUSD are governed by Gemini's strict compliance frameworks, which include regular third-party audits of its U.S. dollar reserves to ensure full backing.
GUSD operates on a simple and transparent model of fiat collateralization.
GUSD's value proposition centers on its regulatory compliance and institutional-grade transparency, which are less common in the stablecoin market.
GUSD serves several key functions within the digital asset economy:
The GUSD ecosystem is intrinsically linked to the growth of the Gemini exchange and its adoption across the broader crypto infrastructure.
GUSD cannot be mined. It is a fiat-collateralized, centrally-issued stablecoin. New GUSD tokens are only created when a user deposits U.S. dollars with Gemini and requests the issuance of tokens. The process is controlled by Gemini Trust Company, not through a decentralized mining or staking mechanism. Therefore, acquiring GUSD is done through purchase on an exchange or direct minting via the Gemini platform.
Securing your GUSD involves standard practices for managing ERC-20 tokens:
GUSD is a regulated stablecoin available on several exchanges. For a seamless experience with high liquidity, consider trading on a major platform.

Thank you for your interest in BTCC. Currently, spot and futures trading services for GUSD are not supported.

GUSD (GUSD) is a principal-protected, yield-bearing product: users stake USDT or USDC to mint GUSD as a certificate, and rewards are distributed daily. Minting expands the circulating supply of GUSD, while redemption converts it back to USDT or USDC at a 1:1 ratio (redemption fees apply), contracting supply.
Because GUSD is designed to track a stable value rather than float freely, supply changes mainly reflect demand for its yield rather than driving large price swings. The APR is dynamically adjusted based on revenue from the Gate ecosystem, tokenized treasuries and other RWA, and stablecoin-backed yield assets, so minting tends to rise when yields are attractive and slow when they fall.
For GUSD holders, the practical implication is that supply growth is a signal of yield demand, not of dilution risk, and the peg-like design keeps long-term price behavior anchored near its reference value.
GUSD (GUSD) is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, so its usability and cost profile are directly tied to the Ethereum network. Upgrades that raise throughput and lower gas fees make minting, redeeming and transferring GUSD cheaper, which encourages more frequent use as collateral and in DeFi strategies.
Lower fees also improve GUSD's competitiveness against stablecoins on cheaper chains, supporting deeper liquidity and tighter pricing around its reference value. Conversely, periods of high gas costs can discourage small transfers and push activity toward layer-2 networks or alternative venues.
Because GUSD is designed as a stable, principal-protected instrument rather than a volatile asset, network upgrades mainly affect its efficiency and adoption as a yield-bearing and collateral asset, not its day-to-day price, which remains anchored near its target value.
A spot ETF is a regulated fund that holds the underlying asset and issues shares that trade on traditional exchanges, giving institutions and brokerage users exposure without managing wallets directly. For a stablecoin-style asset like GUSD (GUSD), the more realistic institutional path is custody, collateral and treasury-style yield products rather than a classic spot ETF.
Sustained institutional adoption would deepen GUSD's liquidity, raise its legitimacy as a cash-equivalent instrument, and strengthen its peg by increasing the volume of large, predictable mint and redemption flows. Greater participation also tends to tighten spreads and reduce the impact of any single large order.
The key risk is that institutional flows can be concentrated and sensitive to regulation or yield changes, so demand may rise and fall in waves. Overall, broader adoption supports GUSD's stability and utility rather than pushing it toward large speculative price moves.
Both GUSD (GUSD) and USDT are dollar-referenced instruments, but they serve different roles. GUSD is positioned as a principal-protected, yield-bearing certificate with daily rewards and 1:1 redemption to USDT or USDC, while USDT is the most widely used trading stablecoin, prized for deep liquidity and near-universal pairing across exchanges.
| Dimension | GUSD (GUSD) | USDT |
|---|---|---|
| Core Positioning | Yield-bearing, principal-protected certificate | Liquidity and settlement stablecoin |
| Supply Model | Minted by staking USDT/USDC; redeemable 1:1 | Issuer-managed, reserve-backed |
| Consensus | ERC-20 on Ethereum | Multi-chain issued token |
| Main Use Cases | Yield, collateral, RWA exposure | Trading pairs, transfers, settlement |
For traders, USDT usually offers tighter spreads; for yield seekers, GUSD offers daily rewards and collateral utility.
On BTCC you can attach stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) orders to any GUSD/USDT perpetual contract position, so risk is defined before you enter. Use the mark price or last price consistently and always leave a small buffer beyond the level you are protecting.
Review both orders after major news, since volatility can widen spreads and trigger premature fills.
The current price of GUSD (GUSD) is $0.998429, with a market cap of $149.19649M and 24h trading volume of _24h99.275896K. The circulating supply is 149.44M (max supply ∞).
Because GUSD is designed as a stable, dollar-referenced instrument, its price typically trades in a very narrow band around its target value, and the 24h change is usually close to zero. Market cap therefore moves mainly with minting and redemption activity rather than with speculative price swings.
For the most accurate live figures, open the GUSD/USDT page on BTCC and check the real-time order book, depth and latest trades before placing any order.
GUSD (GUSD) is designed to hold a stable value, so its price drivers differ from volatile crypto assets. Three layers matter most:
Together these keep GUSD anchored near its target, with stability supported by reserves and yield rather than speculation.
The all-time high of GUSD (GUSD) is $1.002085, reached on 2025-11-19 03:55; the all-time low is $0.994887, recorded on 2026-05-14 12:15.
As a stable, dollar-referenced instrument, GUSD's historical range is extremely narrow compared with volatile cryptocurrencies, and these extremes reflect brief deviations around its target value rather than sustained trends. That is why its chart looks almost flat over long periods.
To inspect the full-cycle chart, open the GUSD/USDT page on BTCC and switch between the 1D, 1W and 1M timeframes to see how tightly the price has tracked its reference value since launch.
Reading GUSD (GUSD) charts starts with the candlestick: the body shows the open and close, while the upper and lower wicks show the high and low of that period. A long body means strong directional pressure; a long wick signals rejection at that level.
On BTCC, combine these signals with SL/TP orders on the GUSD/USDT perpetual contract to manage risk.
You can short GUSD (GUSD) without holding the spot token by using BTCC GUSD/USDT perpetual contracts. To open a short, you sell the contract at a high price; to close it, you buy it back at a lower price, and the difference is your profit (minus fees and funding).
This gives traders a two-way opportunity: in bearish or pullback markets, shorting lets you profit from downside instead of waiting for a rally. Because GUSD is a stable, dollar-referenced instrument, its moves are usually small, so shorts are typically used with modest leverage and tight risk controls.
Always attach a stop-loss above your entry to cap losses, and consider a take-profit near the next support zone. Practicing on BTCC's demo account first helps you test the short workflow with virtual funds.
Yes. BTCC offers flexible leverage on GUSD/USDT perpetual contracts, up to 50x, subject to the platform's risk rules and margin requirements. Higher leverage means a smaller margin controls a larger position, which can amplify returns when the market moves your way.
The same leverage magnifies losses: a small adverse move can trigger liquidation and wipe out your margin. Because GUSD (GUSD) is a stable, dollar-referenced asset with narrow daily ranges, high leverage is especially sensitive to funding costs and sudden spread widening.
Beginners should start at 2x-10x, use a strict stop-loss on every position, and avoid holding oversized positions through low-liquidity periods. Test your settings on the BTCC demo account before trading with real funds.
After registering on BTCC, switch to Demo Trading mode and you will receive virtual funds, for example 100,000 USDT, to practice without risking real capital. The demo environment uses real GUSD (GUSD) market data, so prices, depth and volatility behave like the live market.
Use it to rehearse the full workflow: adjusting leverage on the GUSD/USDT perpetual contract, placing market and limit orders, and setting take-profit and stop-loss levels. You can also test trailing stops and see how margin and liquidation prices respond to different position sizes.
Once you are comfortable with the mechanics and your risk plan, you can move to live trading with a small amount and scale up gradually. The demo account is the safest way to build habits before committing real funds.
Buying and trading GUSD (GUSD) on BTCC follows a simple flow:
Because GUSD is a stable, dollar-referenced instrument, position sizing and risk controls matter more than chasing large moves. Start with low leverage, keep a stop-loss on every trade, and use the BTCC demo account first if you are new to perpetual contracts.
