Polkadot voters approve $5M-backed dotUSD stablecoin proposal with 97.5% support

Polkadot's community overwhelmingly supports Referendum #1944 to create dotUSD, a new US dollar-pegged stablecoin backed primarily by DOT tokens. The proposal includes $5 million in initial liquidity split between USDT and DOT to enable minting and liquidity. This stablecoin aims to reduce reliance on external stablecoins like USDT and USDC, enhancing Polkadot’s DeFi ecosystem by providing a native, protocol-owned stable asset. The vote is in its final decision phase, and if approved, dotUSD could increase demand for DOT by locking tokens as collateral, though it carries risks tied to DOT’s price stability.
