Purpose
Stablecoins are an interesting and useful phenomenon in the crypto environment. They battle fiercely with one another to provide a slight competitive edge and retain the most users. TUSD is seeking to be a leader amongst stablecoins by providing a way to expose traditional assets, such as real estate or precious metals, to cryptocurrencies. In the future they aim to be a way to securitize these assets by transferring their value into TUSD, making them easily transferable across the world.
