After the USD0++ de-pegging, Usual Protocol plans to activate the revenue switch function on January 13 to stabilize its ecosystem

Usual, the issuer of the RWA stablecoin, announced on the X platform that it has recognized the significant community reaction caused by the substantial de-pegging of its stablecoin USD0++ from $1, and therefore will implement a series of measures to address user concerns and stabilize the ecosystem. Reportedly, its "Revenue Switch" function is planned to be activated on January 13, allowing Usual Protocol to share the revenue it generates from real-world assets and protocol operations with the community. The team expects a monthly revenue of around $5 million, and under current conditions, the annual return rate will exceed 50%. These allocations will be made weekly to reinforce the actual value of USUAL, balance its economic model, and generate income for the protocol.

(Note: Usual's revenue switch function will be officially enabled when over 50% of USUAL tokens are staked as USUALx. If the requirement is not met, it will be automatically activated on February 1, 2025. Once enabled: 100% of the revenue (up to $5 million per month) will flow to USUALx stakers in the form of USD0.) In addition, the Usual Protocol team also stated that they will launch the "1:1 early unstaking" function next week, allowing users to exchange USD0++ at a rate of $1, but requiring them to forfeit a portion of their accumulated rewards as a penalty.
