High Yield USD (Base) HYUSD

What HYUSD actually is on-chain

High Yield USD (Base) is an ERC-20 deployed on Base, at contract address 0xcc7ff230365bd730ee4b352cc2492cedac49383e. That address, not the ticker HYUSD, is what uniquely identifies this asset: anyone can deploy a second token calling itself HYUSD, but the contract is unforgeable. Verify it against basescan.org before sending funds or approving a spend.

Because it lives on Base, HYUSD is held in any EVM-compatible wallet, transfers are paid for in ETH rather than in HYUSD itself, and secondary liquidity sits in Aerodrome and Uniswap pools. Two consequences follow for anyone setting alerts: you need ETH in the same wallet to move the token at all, and a quoted price taken from a pool is a pool price — it includes slippage that an order-book quote would not.

Another asset tracked on this site also uses the ticker HYUSD: Hylo USD (Solana, 5YMkXA…Tu9E). The asset on this page is specifically the Base deployment at 0xcc7f…383e. These are unrelated tokens with separate contracts, separate supply and separate price histories — a price alert set on one of them says nothing about the others, and a ticker search is not enough to tell them apart.

For HYUSD the project publishes a public source repository and an active account as @HighYieldUSD. That is a partial paper trail — enough to check claims against, not enough to audit. None of it is a quality judgement about the asset; it is simply what can be independently checked before the chart is worth looking at.

Where HYUSD sits in the market

High Yield USD (Base) ranks #6573, in the deep tail, among assets that are tracked but rarely quoted, far outside the set of assets that carry continuous market-maker coverage. At this end of the table the first question is data integrity rather than valuation: a quote can originate from a single pool or a single venue, reported volume is difficult to verify independently, and the distance between the last print and a genuinely executable price can be wide. Treat any indicator computed on this series as provisional.

We are not currently receiving a live HYUSD order book from any of the exchanges connected to this site, so no real-time quote is shown above. That is itself information: it usually means the pair is unlisted on the venues we track, or trading has been halted. HYUSD is a Base asset, so whatever turnover exists is most likely in Aerodrome and Uniswap pools rather than on a centralised book, and every fill there costs ETH in gas on top of the pool's own fee.

HYUSD against its all-time high

High Yield USD (Base)'s record high is $1.18, set on 2024-08-16. That high sits in a range where whole-cent and whole-unit levels are genuinely traded, which makes them usable as alert thresholds if a quote returns. It was set roughly 2 years ago, so it belongs to the current cycle but not to current conditions. We are not quoting a drawdown from it because no tracked venue is giving us a live HYUSD price — a stale or single-pool number would make that percentage look precise when it is not.

HYUSD across its historical range

The recorded range is comparatively narrow: 1.20x between $0.9844 and $1.18. Either the price history is short, or the asset is designed not to move.

The record low of $0.9844 was printed on 2024-05-23 — roughly 2 years ago. We have no live quote to measure the current distance from it.

HYUSD supply and valuation data

At #6573 there is no reliable third-party supply audit for HYUSD at all — token counts this far down the table are frequently restated, and we would rather show nothing than show a number that moves without notice. What we do have is a fully diluted valuation of $68 thousand as of 2026-05-12. That is in the bottom quartile of tracked assets, a range where a single liquidity provider can account for most of the quoted value.

Because that valuation is a snapshot rather than a live figure, we deliberately do not back out a supply number from it — the price has moved since, and the division would produce a confident-looking token count that is simply wrong. Check the project's own explorer for the current supply before using any per-token valuation. The authoritative figure is the one basescan.org reports for this contract.

What kind of asset HYUSD is

High Yield USD (Base) is pegged to the US dollar, so the only price question that matters is whether the peg holds; trend and momentum readings on a dollar peg describe noise, not direction. It is backed by on-chain collateral rather than by bank deposits, so the peg's real dependency is the collateral ratio and the liquidation engine behind it. The number to watch is not the price but the health of the collateral during a fast drawdown in the assets backing it. It is small for a stablecoin, and at this size the peg depends heavily on one or two liquidity pools; thin-book depegs here say more about liquidity than about solvency.
