LUSD-HKD price

The LUSD is a decentralized USD stablecoin issued on the Liquity protocol by depositing an ETH collateral. The interest of the protocol is that it is a fully autonomous smart contract with no administrators or governance mechanisms, and is therefore unstoppable. The LUSD is thus entirely backed by ETH, and follows the price of the USD through a price oracle.

Right now, 1 LUSD is worth HK$ .

Right now, 1 Hong Kong dollar is equal to LUSD.

Created in 2020, Liquity is a Swiss company developing the decentralized protocol of the same name that allows to borrow and redeem the LUSD stablecoin against ETH.

A stablecoin is a type of cryptocurrency designed to have the same value as a given fiat currency, like the US dollar. Its purpose is to let users invest in and out of volatile crypto-assets easily while remaining on chain, to facilitate crypto payments, and to denominate the price of other tokens in currencies that people are familiar with.

Because LUSD is 100% backed by a fully decentralized crypto collateral (ETH) and because the Liquity protocol is autonomous and censorship resistant, LUSD is considered to be one of the safest stablecoins available today.
