What you should know about digital dollars

  • This is not a bank checking account in dollars: stablecoins are not guaranteed by the Chilean State and are not covered like a bank deposit.
  • A stablecoin aims to keep its peg to the dollar, but it can de-peg (lose parity) during market or issuer stress.
  • The peso price of USDT and USDC moves with the exchange rate: if the dollar falls, your balance in pesos falls.
  • A transfer to the wrong address or network cannot be reversed. Always check the destination network and address.
