De un vistazo

FDUSD is the Binance global reference USD stablecoin, issued by FD121 Limited (custodied by First Digital Trust, Hong Kong). Market cap collapsed ~85% from a $2.5B peak in early 2025 to ~$397M in May 2026 after the April 2 2025 depeg triggered by Justin Sun allegations of FDT insolvency. The Hong Kong High Court defamation case (HCA 680, filed April 9 2025) remains unresolved. Delisted from Binance EEA on March 31 2025 in the MiCA non-compliant batch. Reserves attested monthly by Prescient Assurance: $457.88M net assets vs $456.14M tokens at January 2026.

Ideal para

Active traders on Binance global who want to use zero-fee FDUSD pairs (BTC/FDUSD, ETH/FDUSD, SOL/FDUSD renewed January 29 2026). Market makers benefiting from Binance maker incentive volume counting.
