Origin Dollar OUSD

What OUSD actually is on-chain

Origin Dollar is an ERC-20 deployed on Ethereum, at contract address 0x2a8e1e676ec238d8a992307b495b45b3feaa5e86. That address, not the ticker OUSD, is what uniquely identifies this asset: anyone can deploy a second token calling itself OUSD, but the contract is unforgeable. Verify it against etherscan.io before sending funds or approving a spend.

Because it lives on Ethereum, OUSD is held in any EVM-compatible wallet, transfers are paid for in ETH rather than in OUSD itself, and secondary liquidity sits in Uniswap-style AMM 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.

For OUSD the project publishes a whitepaper, a public source repository and an active account as @originprotocol. Both a written specification and readable code exist, which is a materially higher bar than most assets in this size range clear. 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 OUSD sits in the market

Ranked #1625, Origin Dollar falls in the lower small-cap band. The order book absorbs size poorly at this depth: one meaningful market order can reprice the tape by several percent before it retraces minutes later. A lone static price target therefore fires on noise, and what you want is a condition built to survive that wick. Venue coverage is narrow, which makes volume-based delisting a concrete risk rather than a theoretical one.

We are not currently receiving a live OUSD 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. OUSD is a Ethereum asset, so whatever turnover exists is most likely in Uniswap-style AMM pools rather than on a centralised book, and every fill there costs ETH in gas on top of the pool's own fee.

OUSD against its all-time high

Origin Dollar's record high is $7.46, set on 2021-05-18. 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 5 years ago. A peak that old describes a supply structure and a holder base that have almost certainly turned over since. We are not quoting a drawdown from it because no tracked venue is giving us a live OUSD price — a stale or single-pool number would make that percentage look precise when it is not.

OUSD across its historical range

The recorded range runs 51.3x, from $0.1455 to $7.46 — wide by the standards of traditional assets, moderate for this one's class.

The record low of $0.1455 was printed on 2020-11-17 — 6 years ago. We have no live quote to measure the current distance from it.

OUSD supply and valuation data

Supply figures for OUSD are self-reported at this rank rather than reconciled against the chain, so we publish the valuation we have and not a circulating-supply number we cannot check. What we do have is a fully diluted valuation of $5.5 million as of 2026-05-12. That is in the upper quartile of tracked assets by fully diluted value.

Since the figure is a snapshot rather than a live number, we do not reverse it into a supply count: the price has moved since it was taken, and that division would produce a confident but incorrect token count. For any per-token valuation, check the current supply on the project's own explorer first. The authoritative figure is the one etherscan.io reports for this contract.

What kind of asset OUSD is

Origin Dollar 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.

CoinGecko files OUSD under 6 categories, including Stablecoins, Decentralized Finance (DeFi), USD Stablecoin, Ethereum Ecosystem, Crypto-backed Stablecoin. CoinGecko also records deployments on Ethereum (3,072 tracked tokens), so its on-chain liquidity and its user base move with that network.
