The stablecoin issuer disclosed in a December report that it splits its holdings across a variety of depository institutions in the U.S., Hong Kong and the Bahamas.
TrueUSD has a market cap of just over $2 billion. Data from Nansen.ai shows that Binance is the exchange with the largest holdings of TrueUSD at $428 million.
Currently, the trueUSD stablecoin has been knocked off its dollar peg and is trading at just slightly under $1 on Binance.
Coinbase says it has $240 million in cash at Signature bank but is able to process transactions through other banking partners. Paxos also disclosed it has $250 million at Signature Bank, but says it has private insurance on deposits in excess of FDIC insurance limits.
