United Stables is a USD-pegged stablecoin built on the BNB blockchain. With an oracle-verified 1-to-1 backing, United Stables hopes to offer a stablecoin that can be more than a simple store of value. Read on to learn everything you need to know about United Stables.
What is United Stables?
United Stables is a stablecoin, meaning its value is pegged to the value of something else. United Stables is pegged to the US dollar on a 1:1 ratio, meaning one United Stables token equals one US dollar.
The creators behind United Stables wanted to create a stablecoin that could become more than just a store of value, offering yield features and other benefits considered beneficial to traders. United Stables is native to the BNB blockchain, but since its launch, it has been incorporated into numerous other blockchains, including Ethereum.
How Does United Stables Work?
Stablecoins function by utilizing smart contracts to lock up an asset equivalent to the value of the stablecoin, and United Stables is no different. However, while other USD stablecoins store fiat money to back their stablecoins, United Stables allows for the storing of other USD based stablecoin to back the liquidity.
For example, when you purchase United Stables, say 5 tokens, that means $5 is locked up in a smart contract—however those dollars don’t have to be cash or gold bars, and they could be other stablecoins like USDT (Tether) or USDC (USD Coin).
This is allowed for one purpose—to combine varied liquidity pools into one. Before the invention of United Stables, various exchanges would have separate liquidity pools for each USD-pegged stablecoin. United Stables allows the combination of these into one, therefore increasing liquidity overall. This specifically makes it easier for AI bots and entities to utilize blockchain.
When someone wishes to purchase United Stables, they utilize a protocol that locks away an equal amount of fiat (locked away in audited institutions) or USD-pegged stablecoins (using a dApp). This amount remains locked away for the entire time the United Stables token is in use. If the individual eventually decides to sell back their United Stables, they can sell it to a peer, or back to the system, which will burn the corresponding tokens, which would no longer have backing. All of this is done by a POR (Proof-of-Reserves) consensus mechanism.
What is U?
U is the trading symbol for United Stables. United Stables is a stablecoin, meaning its value should always be equal to one US dollar across all exchanges.
Who Created United Stables?
United Stables was created by United Stables Limited in December 2025. The owners and humans of United Stables Limited are not disclosed, so we do not know the people behind this project.
It is important to note that on the United Stables website, there is a disclaimer at the bottom stating that United Stables is not legally registered in the EU, the US, or Hong Kong. We aren’t sure if this means it is registered somewhere not in these three countries, as it is unclear, though the website is registered in the United States.
Should You Buy United Stables?
In general, we do not recommend purchasing stablecoins because no matter how you look at it, stablecoins aren’t investment grade. They were created for the easy movement of money, but they will always be worth the same amount (in theory) and are therefore not for consideration if you are looking to invest.
If that weren’t enough, so many stablecoin projects have gone wrong(TerraLuna), or are currently facing lawsuits due to their actions (Tether), and therefore, we recommend staying far away from these projects.
While we think United Stables is a good idea, and that the intent behind the project might be pure, the lack of transparency on the owners of the product, and the lack of legal registration of the token have us worried. Even though they do offer their financial reports for download on their website, we did not download them due to safety concerns.
To be clear, we never recommend purchasing tokens when you don’t know the company behind them, with the only exception being Bitcoin. Then pair that with the lawsuits and collapses in the stablecoin world in the past few years, and we simply can’t recommend a purchase of United Stables from an investment standpoint.
That being said, if you need to send money across borders or move liquidity, United Stables is definitely a good option, and it is already available on many exchanges. We just don’t recommend parking your money in this token long-term. (But beware, we also aren’t certain that it isn’t a scam stablecoin, so proceed with caution.)
Where Can You Buy United Stables?
As always, it is best to purchase United Stables from a platform where you already have an account and trust that platform. Of course, United Stables isn’t available everywhere yet, so if it’s not available where you usually purchase cryptocurrencies, here are some platforms where you can buy it:
· Binance
· LBank
· BingX
· Gate.io
· Aster
Keep in mind, it might be available on other platforms not mentioned here; this is just what we found during our research.
Overall, we are quite salty over the number of stablecoin projects that have turned out to be a scam or gone under in the last few years, and we simply can’t recommend one, no matter who is behind it. While we may have featured worse projects on our altcoin spotlight before, we aren’t about to trust United Stables either—especially because it isn’t investment grade, so there’s no reward if it’s not a scam. So, if you need to use it on a temporary basis, go ahead, but don’t go dumping capital into what might be another scam of a stablecoin.
