Project Updates:
RWA stablecoin issuer Usual announced on platform X that it has recognized the significant community response to its staked stablecoin USD0++ significantly depegging from $1. Therefore, it will launch a series of measures to address user concerns and stabilize the ecosystem. It is reported that its "Revenue Switch" function is set to launch on January 13, allowing Usual Protocol to share its earnings from real-world assets and protocol operations with the community. The team expects monthly revenue of about $5 million, with an annual return rate exceeding 50% under current conditions. These distributions will occur weekly to solidify the actual value of USUAL, balance its economic model, and the revenue generated by the protocol.
(Note: The revenue switch function will officially activate when more than 50% of USUAL tokens are staked as USUALx. If the requirement is not met, it will automatically activate on February 1, 2025. Once activated: 100% of the revenue (up to $5 million per month) will flow to USUALx stakers in the form of USD0.) Additionally, the Usual Protocol team stated that it will launch a "1:1 early unstaking" feature next week, allowing users to exchange USD0++ at a rate of $1, but requiring them to forfeit part of their accumulated rewards as a penalty.
