Pay USD

Pay USD points straight at the one job stablecoins are built for: holding close to the dollar and making crypto less jumpy. By our assessment, that is also its best trait and its main limitation, because the whole point is restraint rather than upside. In practice, a token like this is useful when someone wants dollar-like settlement on-chain, but it is not where people go for excitement or long-shot gains. It sits in the same broad lane as other dollar-pegged coins, where trust in reserves and issuer design matters more than novelty. Pay USD is therefore a practical, narrow tool, and the ceiling is simply the ceiling of the stablecoin idea itself.
