Falcon Finance and Anchorage Launch fUSD, a Bank‑Issued Stablecoin for Institutions

The token offers an on‑chain dollar built to fit the GENIUS Act by placing reserves under a federally chartered bank while keeping token holders separate from reserve earnings.

Overview

  • Falcon Finance, Anchorage Digital Bank and Ceffu launched fUSD as a regulated U.S. dollar stablecoin that targets institutional trading, collateral and treasury desks.
  • The issuer is Anchorage Digital Bank and each fUSD is claimed to be backed one‑for‑one by cash, short‑dated U.S. Treasuries and Treasury‑backed repo held under federal supervision.
  • Deloitte will attest the reserves on a monthly and annual basis and Ceffu provides the institutional custody, staking and collateral rails for the token.
  • To comply with the GENIUS Act and avoid paying embedded yield, the fUSD token itself carries no interest while Falcon Finance runs a separate bilateral rewards program that aims to return roughly 3% to qualifying institutional holders.
  • Falcon will act as a launch holder and the product could prompt other issuers to rethink how Treasury income is allocated to institutional users and how regulated stablecoins plug into trading and treasury workflows.
