Designed for both institutions and everyday users, USX is a synthetic stable coin optimized for performance on Solana. The USX peg is maintained by the one-to-one collateralization of fiat-backed stablecoins, such as USDC and USDT, and partnerships with some of the biggest market makers and liquidity providers in the industry.
