Algorithmic / under-collateralized stablecoin
Multipli's assessment for RD-F-069 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
rwaUSD is a credit-backed stablecoin collateralized by tokenized RWAs (T-bills, stablecoins, tokenized gold) at illustrative MTV ratios ~70–85% (implying ~115–143% collateralization). This is NOT algorithmic — no reflexive token backing. Yellow (not red): collateral is high-quality near-cash assets; Lloyd's of London insurance provides supplementary tail-risk coverage; three-layer defense (Reserve Buffer, Deficit Recorder, Recap Mechanism) is architecturally sound. Yellow because: (a) exact collateralization ratios are 'illustrative and subject to change' — not on-chain verifiable; (b) the design is novel with limited at-scale track record (~9 months V2 live); (c) Peg Rail introduces reference-stablecoin reserves bounded by daily outflow limits — potential stress-redemption bottleneck; (d) strategy manager basis for xToken yield is entirely off-chain with no on-chain position verifiability (limited transparency). The xToken yield component (delta-neutral strategies via Nomura/LaserDigi
