To mint USP, users must deposit stablecoins such as USDC (USDC) and USDt (USDT), which are then held as collateral.<br \/>\n\u201cUSP is backed 1:1 by the stablecoins used during the minting process,\u201d Pareto co-founder Matteo Pandolfi told Cointelegraph in a written statement.<br \/>\nThe deposited funds are placed into Pareto\u2019s credit vaults and lent to what the company describes as \u201cvetted institutional borrowers,\u201d generating yields for participants.<br \/>\nTo maintain its peg to the US dollar, Pareto uses what it calls a \u201cnative backing\u201d process. Each USP token is minted only when an equivalent amount of USDC or USDT is deposited, ensuring full collateralization when the token is created. An arbitrage mechanism also supports the dollar peg\u2019s ongoing stability.<br \/>\nIn addition, Pareto has set up a protocol-funded stability reserve to act as a buffer in case of borrower defaults.<br \/>\nRelated: Coinbase invests in Canadian stablecoin issuer<br \/>\nInstitutional entry into RWA credit market<br \/>\nThe company said the synthetic dollar gives institutional investors a regulated onchain entry point into real-world asset (RWA) credit markets \u2014 a segment of the tokenization industry that has expanded rapidly over the past year.\u00a0<br \/>\nRecent examples of private credit tokenization include Tradable\u2019s portfolio of 30 credit positions and Apollo\u2019s Diversified Credit Securitize Fund.<br \/>\nWhen asked about the potential risks of connecting DeFi to the often opaque private credit sector, Pareto acknowledged the concern but emphasized its approach to risk management.<br \/>\n\u201cThat\u2019s a fair concern, but Pareto was specifically built to address the inefficiencies and opacity that have historically plagued traditional credit markets,\u201d Pandolfi said, adding:<br \/>\n\u201cBy bringing private credit onchain, we enable real-time transparency, programmable risk management, and automated settlement while reducing counterparty risk and operational friction.\u201d<br \/>\nA chart highlighting the growth of the tokenized credit market.

Roughly 368,000 investors were earning yield as of January, Cointelegraph reported.<br \/>\nDespite the success of synthetic variants, collateralized stablecoins continue to dominate the market \u2014 a position US regulators are keen to preserve through proposed legislation like the GENIUS Act and STABLE Act.<br \/>\nUnder President Donald Trump, the US government has recognized the role of stablecoins as a \u201cway to support the dollar\u2019s worldwide use as a reserve currency,\u201d Komodo Platform\u2019s chief technology officer, Kadan Stadelmann, told Cointelegraph in a written statement.<br \/>\n\u201cStablecoins are the second-most adopted blockchain use case behind Bitcoin \u2014 more than NFTs and DeFi,\u201d he said. \u201cUS dollar-pegged stablecoins account for a mind-boggling 1% of the M2 money supply.\u201d<br \/>\nThe total stablecoin market is approaching $250 billion, with Tether accounting for roughly $150 billion.
