How USDR Ensures Transparency

Published

on

Trust is the backbone of the world of finance. Without trust, there are no deals, no transactions, no loans, no insurance, and so on. Transparency breeds legitimacy and trust. As a matter of fact, a completely transparent financial ecosystem is theoretically free of regulators. It comes as no surprise that the world is progressing towards becoming more transparent. 

Blockchain and cryptocurrency markets are giving us windows into a world in which transparency, not regulation, serves us. Some projects in the crypto ecosystem are dedicated to solving transparency issues but there are other projects whose very existence and integration brings transparency. 

USD Reserve is one such project. Before looking into how USDR ensures transparency, it is important to understand what exactly USDR is.

What is USDR?

In essence, USDR is a crypto token or payment token. It is issued by Brothers International in Switzerland. This token is fully backed by a corporate guarantee from Brothers International in the UK. Brothers International is the legal owner of 10 metric tonnes of gold stored in private secure storage and insured by Lloyds of London, the world’s leading insurance market providing specialist insurance services to businesses. The terms of guarantee between the UK and Swiss entity entails the UK entity to support the Swiss entity’s USDR project. 

USDR is a European payment token designed to be the internet’s reserve currency. They are currently issuing 100M coins within the current regulatory framework and plan to grow this volume shortly to 345M coins. They intend to provide a flexible payment token on multiple blockchains that can become the reserve currency of the internet. USDR tokens are pegged one to one with the U.S. dollar that helps to fix the volatility flows. The token is currently available on ERC20 and Binance Smart Chain, and other chains are coming soon.

Transparency Through Supply Tracker

A question naturally arises. How is Brothers International obtaining the gold? 

The gold is purchased at a fair price from Artisanal miners in some of the poorest places in the world. Miner’s safety is on the top of the priority list. The miners are also trained on how to extract gold without using environmentally damaging chemicals and mercury, which many currently use now.

Lloyd’s of London has conducted complete due diligence, provenance, security, and assay audits on the assets (gold) that subsequently back the USDR. Lloyd’s is a corporate body governed by Lloyd’s Act 1871 and subsequent Acts of Parliament, and unlike most of its competitors in the industry, it is not an insurance company. 

This way the gold reserves always remain verified and the transparency of the reserves is always up for the public to see. Minting new coins means adding more gold reserves. If the gold price appreciates, more coins can be issued and if the gold price declines, either more reserves can be added, or coins can be burnt. Any coin burning or mining event will always be announced to the public. 

Thus, in this way, USDR is not only ensuring that it reaps all the benefits of transparency that comes with being built on a blockchain, but also ensures transparency in their supply chain of obtaining gold reserves and minting or burning tokens.

PlatON Announced as Secondary Exhibition Sponsor for Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2026

PlatON Announced as Secondary Exhibition Sponsor for Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2026

Hong Kong, 10th February 2026, The Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2026 just got another major sponsor on board. PlatON is coming in as a Secondary Exhibition Sponsor, and honestly, it’s a pretty good fit given what they’re trying to accomplish in the financial infrastructure space.

So what exactly is PlatON? It’s an open financial infrastructure platform that the LatticeX Foundation put together. The really cool part is this thing called TOPOS that sits on top of it – basically, it’s designed to help banks and payment companies actually make sense of blockchain technology and use it for real-world payments and clearing. We’ve all heard the talk about blockchain revolutionizing finance, but PlatON is actually trying to make that happen by building something traditional financial institutions can actually work with.

They’ve got the technical chops for it too – we’re talking high-frequency transaction processing, quick settlements, smart contracts that can handle multiple types of assets. This isn’t some experimental project; it’s built to handle serious stuff like cross-border payments, institutional settlements, and managing digital assets in a way that keeps regulators happy. If you want to dive deeper into what they’re doing, head over to https://platon.network.

Now, the festival itself has become a pretty big deal since it kicked off back in April 2023. Wanxiang Blockchain Labs and HashKey Group run it together, with W3ME handling the organization, and it’s turned into the go-to event for anyone serious about Web3 in Asia. It’s where people actually show up to talk about what’s working, what’s not, and where all of this is heading.

Mark your calendars for April 20-23 if you’re planning to go – it’ll be at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. The past three years have been pretty wild: 350+ exhibitors, over 1,200 speakers, 100,000 people coming through the doors, and more than 400 side events happening around the main conference. That’s a lot of activity packed into a few days.

This year they’re lining up around 300 speakers to cover pretty much every corner of Web3 and crypto. But here’s what’s really interesting – they’ve already got 500+ executives and decision-makers from traditional finance and regular businesses signed up. That’s not your typical crypto crowd. It means you’ve got old-school finance people genuinely trying to understand this space, sitting down with crypto natives, and actually having productive conversations. Those are the kinds of interactions that lead to real progress.

The fact that it’s in Hong Kong matters more than you might think. The city has always been this weird and wonderful mix of East and West, traditional finance and cutting-edge tech. It’s got one foot in Mainland China’s massive market and the other in the global financial system. That positioning means the festival can pull in people and ideas from everywhere, giving you access to perspectives and opportunities that just don’t exist at Western crypto conferences or purely Asian tech events.

Whether you’re already neck-deep in DeFi or you’re just trying to figure out what all the fuss is about, this has become the event that actually matters in the Asian crypto calendar.
