About Currency One USD

Currency One USD (C1USD) is a fully backed, fiat-pegged stablecoin deployed on Stellar and Ethereum. Issued by Kinesis Money Panama, it provides blockchain-native stability for remittance, DeFi, and asset preservation, without speculative intent.

Currency One is the issuer of C1USD, a fully collateralised stablecoin designed to provide dollar-based stability across blockchain environments. The system operates on a reserve-backed model, where each token is backed 1:1 with U.S. dollars or equivalent liquid assets held in segregated accounts.

C1USD is issued across multiple networks, including Stellar and Ethereum, and is structured to support secure, programmable use in decentralised and institutional systems. The platform integrates reserve management, issuance, and redemption functions into a framework suitable for compliant and efficient digital asset operations.

It is designed for cross-border transactions, asset preservation, escrow integration, and stable value transfer. The underlying architecture supports programmability for smart contract automation and on-chain asset control.


Currency One USD (C1USD) is a fiat-backed stablecoin designed to maintain a 1:1 parity with the U.S. dollar through full collateralisation. It is deployed as a token on both the Stellar blockchain and the Ethereum network, providing flexibility for integration across digital finance systems.

C1USD is not intended for speculative use. It is a functional asset designed to preserve value while enabling interaction with smart contracts, escrow mechanisms, decentralised protocols, and blockchain-based financial tools. The asset is issued and redeemed through a controlled process linked to reserve validation.


  • Stable-value transfers in decentralised and cross-border payment systems
  • Collateral in programmable escrow and settlement logic
  • Participation in lending, liquidity provision, and other DeFi applications
  • Access to dollar stability in volatile or underserved financial environments
  • On-chain accounting and treasury operations for businesses and service providers

C1USD supports deterministic behaviour, enabling contract-based systems to operate with stable value representations of fiat currency.


C1USD is issued by Currency One, operated by a dedicated issuer entity responsible for reserve management, token issuance, and redemption processes. The protocol integrates financial operations with blockchain infrastructure to enable stable, compliant asset movement across supported networks.
