CryptoBriefing and TronWeekly give different current liquidity-pool figures for Polkadot's dotUSD referendum, a discrepancy larger than rounding.
CryptoBriefing and TronWeekly give different current liquidity-pool figures for Polkadot's dotUSD referendum, a discrepancy larger than rounding.
What all sources agree on
- Polkadot governance is voting on OpenGov Referendum #1944 to create a native stablecoin called dotUSD.
- The referendum has drawn roughly 97.5% approval from voters.
- The proposal includes a DOT-dotUSD liquidity pool on Asset Hub.
- dotUSD is described as an over-collateralized stablecoin backed primarily by DOT.
- A prior proposal for a DOT-backed stablecoin called pUSD secured more than 75% support earlier in 2025, with over $5.6 million in DOT committed.
Where the reports disagree
1Current dollar value of the liquidity pool funding in the live referendum
The proposal calls for $5 million in initial liquidity, split evenly between $2.5 million in USDT for minting the stablecoin and $2.5 million in DOT allocated to a liquidity pool.
The live referendum currently lists $1.5 million in USDT and $1.5 million in DOT for the pool, while the supplied proposal text cites $2.5 million for each asset.
What would settle it: The on-chain text of OpenGov Referendum #1944 as recorded on Polkadot's governance module.
What to make of it
Treat the existence and 97.5% approval of Referendum #1944 as established, but do not rely on any single dollar figure for the pool's funding until the on-chain referendum text is checked directly.
