Convex Finance (CVX), launched in May 2021, is a DeFi protocol that boosts yields for Curve protocol users on Ethereum. It allows for staking to earn CRV and CVX tokens and provides voting rights on token allocations. Securitize has proposed adding BlackRock's BUIDL token as backing for Frax's rebranded Frax USD (frxUSD) stablecoin, which will feature a new mint-redeem system. Early feedback from Frax DAO members is positive. Competing proposals from Superstate also suggest backing frxUSD with their tokenized funds. The final backing structure is still undecided.
