What is the REUSD?
REUSD (RealToken Ecosystem USD) is a stable voucher token created by RealT. Each REUSD token represents exactly $1 in value that can be used on the RealT platform for purchases of offerings. REUSD was designed to address challenges, particularly when deals don't go through as expected, intending to allow investors the ability to receive a return of their initial investment.
Think of REUSD like a gift card or voucher from Amazon. Here’s how it works:
Imagine you purchased a special-order product from Amazon for $100, but the item became unavailable; Amazon offers you a $100 voucher immediately to be used for another purchase.
With this Amazon voucher:
Its value is $100, and that allows you to spend $100 when used on Amazon’s platform
You can use it to buy anything else on Amazon right away
Similarly, REUSD works as a $1 voucher within the RealT platform:
If you spent $50.00 to buy an offering through RealT, you will receive $50.00 of REUSD tokens. If you spent $100.00, you will receive $100 of REUSD.
Each REUSD is always worth exactly $1 when purchasing RealTokens on the platform.
You will be issued the Voucher immediately when an offering is canceled and can use it to buy anything else within the RealT platform, for purchases of RealTokens, which includes new offerings or tokens available through wild sales.
The REUSD can be tradable:
On external platforms like YAM (potentially at varying prices)
On liquidity Pools (potentially at varying prices)
REUSD will be issued to token holders in cases where a deal is aborted or canceled. Traditionally, RealT offered SWAP tokens, which could take additional time to find a similar deal to swap for. This new product Instead eliminates the waiting for a swap, by allowing the investor to receive REUSD tokens equivalent to the USD value of your original investment at deal cancellation.
REUSD has a fixed value of $1 when used on the RealT platform. This intrinsic value remains constant regardless of any price fluctuations that might occur on external trading platforms like the YAM.
You can use REUSD in several ways:
RealT’s platform: Use REUSD directly on the RealT platform to purchase new RealTokens through our integration with Request Networks.
YAM: REUSD can be traded on the YAM, allowing you to exchange it for USDC or xDai if desired.
Liquidity Pools: Participate in available liquidity pools opened by the RealToken community involving REUSD.
Yes, REUSD is tradable on YAM and through available liquidity pools. However, it's important to understand that while the market price on these external platforms may fluctuate, the redemption value on the RealT platform remains fixed at $1 per REUSD.
The external market price of REUSD may vary due to market dynamics:
If REUSD trades above $1 on YAM or Liquidity Pools: This doesn't change its value on the RealT platform, where it will still be worth exactly $1.
If REUSD trades below $1 on YAM or Liquidity Pools: This could present an opportunity to acquire REUSD at a discount, while still being able to use it at full $1 value on the RealT platform.
REUSD offers several advantages:
Immediate Value Access: When an acquisition deal fails, you’ll receive the exact USD value of your investment in REUSD tokens in a timely manner.
Flexibility: Choose how to use your funds—purchase new tokens, trade it on the YAM, or participate in liquidity pools.
Liquidity Option (Flexibility): Choose how to use your funds - purchase new tokens, trade REUSD on the YAM, or participate in liquidity pools.
Simplified Recovery Process: Quickly regain control of your investment value without extended waiting periods.
Yes. In cases where offerings are canceled, token holders will automatically receive REUSD in place of their RealTokens.
When using REUSD on the RealT platform, there are no additional fees beyond standard transaction fees.
REUSD represents value within the RealToken ecosystem. It is not backed by USD; REUSD is not a stablecoin.
REUSD is specifically designed for use within the RealToken ecosystem. While it maintains a stable value within the RealT Ecosystem, its primary purpose is to provide seamless continuity for RealT investors when deals don't proceed as planned. It must very much be thought of as an “In-store Voucher”.
