BUSD
BUSD is the very first Dapp project founded by BeTreasury, a blockchain company based in Zug, Switzerland founded in 2018.
BUSD is a cryptocurrency that is issued with USD as collateral, 1 BUSD=1 USD. It will initially run temporarily on the Ethereum blockchain, but in the future, all transactions will be performed on a highly scalable blockchain called the Fincubate (FCB) Financial Blockchain, which is using Graphene technology to realize a high throughput, capable of supporting high-frequency financial applications, allowing BUSD and other financial apps to be much more efficient and convenient. As soon as BUSD is issued, it can be used by BUSD wallets for transactions, for payment, for wiring, for reserves, etc. just like any other cryptocurrency. Customers can also convert between BUSD and USD at any time.
Behind every BUSD is a US dollar in capital reserve, or in other words, 100% of all BUSD in circulation has a corresponding USD asset in the custody of a third party financial trust as a reserve ratio. BUSD accepts supervision from financial regulatory bodies, and can be strictly audited by accredited third-party accounting and law firms. This guarantees transparency at all times and sets a high standard of trust.
BeTreasury utilizes the blockchain technology with BUSD to provide both individuals and institutions with a new method for transaction value. Both the issuer and market participant can take advantage of the consensus mechanisms inherent to blockchain to realize a fully transparent cross-border, cross-asset or cross-application P2P trades in real time.
