  • Glo Dollar (USDGLO) is a dollar-backed stablecoin marketed by the Glo Foundation, a Public Benefits Corporation in the US. USDGLO is issued by Brale Inc., a tech company offering Stablecoins-as-a-Service. Brale Inc. offers its products under various U.S State’ Money Transmitter licenses.
  • Yield generated from USDGLO reserves are used to fund public goods.
  • The reserves comprise US Treasury debt and cash deposits in fully segregated accounts, but these are unlikely to be bankruptcy-remote.
