{"id":"ousg","title":"OUSG","content":"**Ondo USD Governance (OUSG)** is a tokenized U.S. Treasury bill fund founded by [Ondo Finance](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ondo-finance) CEO and founder [Nathan Allman](https://iq.wiki/wiki/nathan-allman). It provides exposure to short-term U.S. government securities through blockchaintechnology, and allows investors to access U.S. Treasury yields using digital tokens. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-G1O9kV98dE)\n\n## Overview\n\nOUSG represents a bridge between traditional finance and [decentralized finance (DeFi)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/defi), offering investors a way to gain exposure to U.S. Treasury bills through [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain)-based tokens. The fund is managed by [Ondo Finance](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ondo-finance), a company focused on making institutional-grade financial products accessible to a broader audience through [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) technology. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-G1O9kV98dE)\n\nThe product combines traditional financial instruments with modern [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) infrastructure, allowing investors to deposit [stablecoins](https://iq.wiki/wiki/stablecoin) or USD and receive tokens representing their share in the underlying Treasury bill portfolio. This structure enables easier access to government securities while maintaining the benefits of [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) technology, such as programmability and potential for integration with other [DeFi](https://iq.wiki/wiki/defi) protocols. OUSG is available on [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet), [Polygon](https://iq.wiki/wiki/polygon), and [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana).\n\nIn June 2025, [Ondo Finance](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ondo-finance) expanded OUSG to the [XRP Ledger](https://iq.wiki/wiki/xrp), making it the fourth supported [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain). On the [XRP](https://iq.wiki/wiki/xrp) Ledger, users can mint and redeem OUSG using Ripple's U.S. dollar-backed [stablecoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/stablecoin), [RLUSD](https://iq.wiki/wiki/rlusd), providing 24/7 access to short-term U.S. Treasuries for the network's institutional user base. This expansion leverages XRPL's capabilities for fast settlement and around-the-clock accessibility.

Daily limits apply based on platform capacity, with plans to raise these over time.\n* **Low Minimums**: Instant transactions require a minimum of $5,000. For standard (non-instant) activity, the minimum investment is $100,000 and the minimum redemption is $50,000.\n* **Dual Token Structure**:\n  * **OUSG (Accumulating)**: Token value increases over time as yield accrues.\n  * **rOUSG (Rebasing)**: Maintains a fixed $1 price, with yield distributed through automatic increases in token quantity held.\n* **Daily Yield Updates**: Rebasing for rOUSG occurs automatically with each business day’s OUSG price update. [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-Xlit5fz6VM)\n\n### OUSG vs rOUSG\n\n* **Yield Mechanism**:\n  * **OUSG**: Accumulates yield by increasing in price over time.\n  * **rOUSG**: Maintains a stable $1.00 price, with yield distributed through an automatic increase in token quantity (rebasing).\n* **Token Behavior Example**:\n  * If both OUSG and rOUSG start at $1.00 and the rebasing factor is 1.10:\n    * OUSG remains as 1 token now valued at $1.10.\n    * rOUSG becomes 1.10 tokens, each still valued at $1.00.\n* **Usage Considerations**:\n  * rOUSG may offer compatibility challenges with some platforms that do not support rebasing assets.\n  * OUSG may be preferred in environments requiring non-rebasing token structures.\n* **Conversion**:\n  * Users can switch between OUSG and rOUSG through the conversion tool available on the product’s website.
