Considerations

Keep in mind the following when managing your stablecoin balance in your stablecoin financial account:

• Your stablecoin balance is custodied by Bridge, a Stripe company.
• We might hold your stablecoin balance in either USDC, issued by Circle, or USDB, issued by Bridge. You can see how we hold your balance by clicking the information icon next to your balance.
• USDB is an infrastructure stablecoin issued by Bridge. It’s always backed one-to-one by the equivalent value of US dollars held in cash and short-duration money market funds at BlackRock.
