U: who controls it?

The control finding

United Stables Limited controls eligible reserves, direct minting and redemption, and may satisfy redemptions in cash or stablecoins at its discretion; secondary holders have no direct redemption right.

Backing

Issuer-selected cash, cash equivalents, and stablecoins held within the reserve structure.

Holder’s position

A secondary-market holder has no direct right to require redemption under the published terms.

Redemption or exit

Only approved minting customers redeem directly; the issuer may deliver cash or supported stablecoins and can restrict service.

Dependencies an advisor should record

• United Stables Limited
• Reserve banks, custodians, and stablecoin issuers
• Approved-participant status
• Token contract administration

Material incident check

• No material control, reserve, or redemption incident was identified in the reviewed sources.

Why this distinction matters

Record United Stables Limited as the controlling party, verify direct-redemption eligibility, and do not treat an on-chain balance as eliminating reserve, custody, contract, or legal dependencies.

A named organization or administrator controls issuance, transfers, reserves, redemption, or address restrictions. That finding can coexist with a sound reserve, useful product, or appropriate client role. The grade prevents the on-chain wrapper from being mistaken for the absence of an administrator.
