R25 Launches Yield-Bearing rcUSD+ Stablecoin Protocol on Polygon

On November 14, R25 launched its real-world asset and stablecoin protocol on Polygon, introducing the rcUSD+ token. This yield-bearing token is pegged 1:1 to the US dollar and backed by traditional finance assets like money market funds and structured notes.

  • The rcUSD+ generates returns for holders from low-risk investments.
  • Polygon was chosen for its liquidity, cost-efficiency, and institutional trust.
  • The protocol aims to integrate traditional finance yields into DeFi with transparency and oversight.
  • Lack of disclosure in key areas: no contract address for rcUSD+, inaccessible official documentation, no security audits, undisclosed yield calculation methodology, and absent team information.
