The Bitcoin DeFi project Elastos has launched a BTC-backed stablecoin BTCD.
According to ChainCatcher news and a report by CoinDesk, Bitcoin DeFi protocol BeL2 developer Elastos announced the launch of a BTC-backed stablecoin BTCD.
Ahmed IJ, head of marketing at Elastos, said that BTCD is backed by Bitcoin, and the collateral amount is equivalent to 160%-200% of the value of BTCD. When the price of BTCD is higher than $1, holders will burn tokens to redeem BTC, resulting in a decrease in supply and a downward price decline; If it falls below $1, users deposit new BTC to mint BTCD and sell it, causing supply to increase and the price to recover.
