Put it to work
No yield on USDP currently clears our vetting bar ($100M+ TVL, 1yr+ track record). Rates below that bar exist — see the yield hub for the unvetted list and why we separate them.
Alternatives worth knowing

Safety score 74 vs 94 — the yield is compensation for that gap.
Spend it
No card in our directory spends USDP directly. Swapping into USDC or USDT first is the usual route — factor the swap cost in.

Safety score: 94/100 — Robust

What actually backs the token and how often it is verified. Treasury-backed with daily or on-chain proof scores highest; unattested reserves score lowest.
- Peg stability (25%)98
Live deviation from $1.00 plus the worst historical depeg on record. A single deep depeg keeps weighing on the score.
- Liquidity depth (20%)82
Tracked on-chain pool liquidity in absolute dollars and as a share of circulating supply — how much can exit before the price moves.
- Issuer & legal structure (15%)100
Regulatory status of the issuer and whether holders have a direct redemption right or only a secondary market exit.
- Track record (10%)100
Years in production, minus documented incidents.
