The Polkadot community is considering taking a stride towards self-sufficiency with the idea of establishing a stablecoin named pUSD. Rooted in DOT tokens, this digital currency aims to lessen reliance on externally controlled stablecoins such as USDT and USDC. This strategy highlights a reliance on internal assets to bolster a more robust financial framework. Proposed by Acala CTO Bryan Chen, pUSD is seen as a potentially crucial cog in Polkadot’s economic machinery.
