SPY / USDG
The proposed MVP starts with one broad-market RWA and one dollar-denominated cash asset. The objective is to prove the two-sided architecture before expanding the asset universe.
Why SPY first?
- Broad index exposure is easier to reason about than single-company concentration.
- Natural demand can exist from holders, hedgers, arbitrageurs and market makers.
- It provides a clear benchmark for borrow rates, inventory scarcity and execution quality.
Why USDG first?
- Provides a common dollar unit for collateral, borrowing, interest and settlement.
- Is natively available on Robinhood Chain.
- Creates a focused first pair rather than fragmenting liquidity across multiple stablecoins.
Asset eligibility, legal access, issuer risk and redemption mechanics remain part of the market risk assessment.
