According to company materials, the [stablecoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/stablecoin) was intended for uses including settlement, treasury operations, trading activity, and cross-border payments.\n\nPublic statements described [USDGO](https://iq.wiki/wiki/usdgo) as backed 1:1 by U.S. dollars and liquid reserve assets, with [AML](https://iq.wiki/wiki/anti-money-laundering-aml) and [KYC](https://iq.wiki/wiki/know-your-customer-kyc) compliance procedures. Solana was identified as the first [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) network used for deployment of the token.\n\n​[Anchorage Digital](https://iq.wiki/wiki/anchorage-digital) later stated that [USDGO](https://iq.wiki/wiki/usdgo) launched under U.S. federal oversight in February 2026 with an initial issuance of US$50 million.
