How to buy and use Stable Mint United States Dollar (USDSM)

Stable Mint United States Dollar (USDSM) is a United States dollar e-money token. Stable Mint Ltd issues the token. The company is an electronic money institution authorised and supervised by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA).

Users can obtain USDSM through two primary methods. Eligible users can mint tokens by sending fiat USD to Stable Mint client accounts to receive the corresponding amount of USDSM on supported blockchains. Alternatively, the token can be bought through supported exchanges. The primary intended use for USDSM is in business-to-business contexts.

Where USDSM is available

USDSM is available through the following verified routes:

• Kraken
• Curve (Ethereum)
• Curve (Arbitrum)

Deposit and withdrawal support for these routes is not verified. Exchange availability and KYC requirements vary by country.

Network and redemption caveats

USDSM operates on several networks, including Etherlink, Base, Arbitrum, and Ethereum. The token address on Etherlink is 0x6bDE51212203aE5d592Cc5180DA2ABBd41c922dE. Users should verify the exact contract address and network through official sources before transferring funds to avoid loss.

Redemptions are handled by Stable Mint Ltd through its regulated platform. To redeem, users transfer tokens back to Stable Mint. The issuer then burns the tokens and pays the equivalent amount in fiat USD to the user's designated bank account. This process requires the completion of onboarding and compliance checks.

Custody, depeg, and issuer risks

The token is structured as an e-money token under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). It is designed to maintain a 1:1 peg to the US dollar. Reserves consist of cash and high-quality liquid USD-denominated assets held with regulated financial institutions. These reserves are segregated from the funds of the issuer.

Risks associated with USDSM include:

• Contract risk: Users must verify contract addresses to avoid lookalike scams.
• Regulatory risk: Account features and availability depend on the user's country and local KYC laws.
• Operational risk: The lifecycle of the token is governed by smart contracts operated by Stable Mint. Access to these functions is restricted to an administrator wallet using multi-party computation (MPC).
