SINGAPORE, Oct. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- In the spirit of putting our users' needs first, Huobi Global is proud to announce the launch of HUSD, its all-in-one stablecoin solution. Exclusive to Huobi Global's exchanges and a first for the market, HUSD allows users to make deposits and withdrawals in any of the four new stablecoins our exchanges support.

"Community concerns have been driving strong demand for stablecoins across the crypto space," said Robin Zhu, COO of Huobi Group. "We believe strongly in consumer choice. HUSD provides this in the form of an integrated solution that allows individual users to save costs and time when switching among stablecoins. At the same time, it will provide our community as a whole greater liquidity when trading and investing with stablecoins."

How HUSD Works: Four Coins, One Solution:

Huobi Global has just listed four new stablecoins; Paxos Standard Token (PAX), True USD(TUSD),  USD//Coin (USDC), and Gemini Dollar (GUSD). Starting today, deposits in any one of these four stablecoins will show up in user accounts as HUSD. Users can withdraw their HUSD as any of the four new coins free of charge.

Example: Say you deposit one (1) PAX into your account. You now have the ability to withdraw your funds as one (1) GUSD, USDC, TUSD, or PAX free of charge or transaction fees.

Huobi officials expect the range of coins that make up the HUSD system to grow. "We plan to keep focusing on new stablecoins coming into the market and add them to our HUSD feature in order to optimize HUSD's benefits," said Huobi Group Vice President Livio Weng. "Meanwhile we will perform continuous evaluation of all the stablecoins within HUSD. If any one of them doesn't meet our strict risk control standards, we will not hesitate to remove them from the HUSD system."

NOTE: Huobi's HUSD feature is exclusive of Tether, which will remain listed separately on Huobi Global as USDT for now.

  1. Deposits open for PAX, TUSD, USDC and GUSD at 15:00, October 19 (GMT+8 ).
