crvUSD is a fully **decentralized, censorship-resistant, and un-freezable** USD stablecoin created by Curve. Unlike centralized stablecoins like USDC or USDT, which are mostly backed by t-bills, crvUSD is fully backed by crypto assets and is controlled by smart contracts and the Curve DAO. Its home is Ethereum, but crvUSD can be bridged to most EVM-compatible chains.

crvUSD can be obtained in two ways: by borrowing it using crypto assets like ETH or BTC as collateral (which lets you access liquidity without selling your crypto) or by simply buying it.
