First Digital USD or briefly FDUSD is a cryptocurrency stablecoin pegged to the United States Dollar, launched by Hong Kong based company First Digital Labs in 2023.[3]

History

First Digital USD made its debut on June 1, 2023, under the auspices of First Digital Labs, a financial firm headquartered in Hong Kong.[4] The launch coincided closely with the introduction of the Guidelines for Virtual Asset Trading Platform Operators in Hong Kong.[5]

The coin was initially deployed on the Ethereum and BNB Chain networks, adhering to the ERC20 and BEP20 standards, respectively. These decentralized blockchains leverage consensus mechanisms such as proof of stake (PoS) or proof of staked authority (PoSA), ensuring transaction confirmation, record immutability and transparency for market participants.[6]

In an official statement released on September 1, 2023, Binance, a leading cryptocurrency exchange platform, announced the discontinuation of support for its native stablecoin, Binance USD (BUSD), urging users to transition to First Digital USD, with the culmination of this process slated for February 2024.[7]

Adoption

First Digital Labs asserts that FDUSD functions as a programmable stablecoin, facilitating the execution of financial contracts, custody services and insurance transactions without reliance on intermediaries.[8]

In February 2024, FDUSD experienced a 51% increase in trading volume, reaching $122 billion across centralized exchanges, thus surpassing Circle's USD Coin (USDC) to become the second most traded pair for Bitcoin.[9] This ascent is largely attributed to the zero-trading fee program implemented on Binance and solidified First Digital USD's commanding position among stablecoins, trailing only behind Tether in popularity.[10]
