De un vistazo

Frax Finance executed the 'North Star Upgrade' on April 30 2025: the FRAX stablecoin was renamed frxUSD, and the FXS governance token was renamed FRAX (the new gas/governance/commodity token of Fraxtal L2). frxUSD is 100% collateralized via a network of RWA custodians: Securitize (BlackRock BUIDL), Circle (USDC), Superstate (USTB/USCC), WisdomTree, Agora, Centrifuge, plus FinresPBC (Public Benefit Corporation bridging on-chain AMOs to Fed reverse-repo). Market cap ~$125M for frxUSD + ~$39M for legacy FRAX = combined ~$165M (down from ~$1B 2022 peak). Not MiCA-authorized; legacy FRAX delisted from EU exchanges starting July 2024.

Ideal para

Builders active in the Frax ecosystem (Fraxlend, sfrxUSD savings, FXB bonds, Fraxtal L2). Investors valuing decentralized DAO governance + on-chain RWA-backed reserves. Builders using Fraxtal L2 (FRAX as native gas token).

Evitalo si

You're an Italian or EEA retail user — no MiCA-licensed CASP lists frxUSD. You want monthly Big-Four attestations. You need DeFi liquidity comparable to USDC (Aave V3 USDC has TVL orders of magnitude higher).
