What is USD*

USD* is fully collateralized by a diversified portfolio of yield-generating assets and positions, including:

  • Delta-neutral hedged positions on centralized and decentralized exchanges (e.g., BTC, ETH, SOL)

  • Secured borrow-lend market positions involving on-chain stablecoins

  • Real-world assets, such as the reinsurance fund by OnRe

  • Perena actively manages asset allocation and diversifies across multiple strategies to reduce single points of failure and optimize for sustainable, consistent yield performance.

  • Built on Solana’s high-performance blockchain, Perena is creating a liquid, yield-bearing digital dollar that anyone can access with a sustainable, risk-managed approach.

  • Looking ahead, Perena is building a full suite of on-chain stablebanking products to expand access to real yield across crypto and traditional finance. The goal is a sustainable financial experience for anyone to transact, save, and invest on-chain.
