Who invented BUSD?
BUSD launched in September 2019 as a partnership between Binance and Paxos. Customers on Binance with USD accounts can exchange 1 BUSD for 1 USD and vice versa. BUSD is issued solely by Paxos on Ethereum.
How does BUSD work on multiple chains?
BUSD is natively issued on Ethereum, which limits is usage outside of its network. To extend its usage across multiple chains, Binance offers a wrapped version of BUSD, Binance-Peg BUSD, that is designed to track the value of the Ethereum-based BUSD on a 1:1 basis. BUSD (ERC-20) and Binance-Peg BUSD holders can freely swap their tokens between various supported chains.
How secure is BUSD on BNB Chain?
Each Binance-Peg BUSD that Binance mints is backed by a regular BUSD that is locked on Ethereum. The value of Binance-Peg BUSD is secured by locking the collateral of the BUSD. In this case, Binance locks the regular BUSD on Ethereum and then mints a corresponding amount of Binance-Peg BUSD on BNB Chain. For more details, you can check out their Proof of Assets.
