From their Whitepaper
RLUSD is issued in accordance with NYDFS stablecoin guidance, which sets forth requirements designed to protect stablecoin holders. Some of these requirements include:
● Regulatory Compliance: The NYDFS provides a framework for stablecoin issuers that establishes clear requirements related to the timely redemption of stablecoins, the safekeeping of stablecoin reserve assets, and independent third-party attestations to verify the reserve. SCTC is subject to oversight by the NYDFS for compliance with these requirements.
● Reserve Protections: The NYDFS requires stablecoins issued by a limited purpose trust to maintain one-to-one value with USD at all times, meaning that the market value of the reserves is at least equal to the nominal value of all outstanding units of the stablecoin as of the end of each business day. The reserve must be held in segregated accounts for the benefit of stablecoin holders, which is intended to protect the reserve from other creditors.
● Transparency and Accountability: The NYDFS establishes disclosure requirements and publication of monthly attestations by an independent Certified Public Accountant to verify the reserves backing the stablecoin. This ensures the stablecoin reserve is accurately reported, managed, and disclosed in a transparent manner and on a regular basis.
