How did events develop? On April 7, Zoran Kole, founder of Zorax Capital, stated in a post on Substack that NEAR Protocol is launching a stablecoin that will offer 20% yield.

A post on Twitter appeared, revealing that the test version of the second-largest decentralized exchange on NEAR Ref Finance has a stablecoin. The user interface on Ref Finance’s testnet website displays USN in the stableswap section along with other popular assets such as USDC, USDT, and DAI. This may indicate that the stablecoin is being tested, but does not guarantee its official release.
