Polkadot dotUSD referendum: Different media reports on the amount of funds in the liquidity pool

CryptoBriefing and TronWeekly gave different values on the current liquidity pool data for the Polkadot dotUSD referendum, which far exceeds the error range caused by rounding.

Consensus section

The Polkadot governance community is voting on OpenGov referendum 1944 to create a native stablecoin called dotUSD. The proposal has received approximately 97.5% support from voters.

The proposal includes establishing a DOT-dotUSD liquidity pool in the Asset Hub. dotUSD is described as an overcollateralized stablecoin backed mainly by DOT as collateral.

Previously, a DOT-backed stablecoin proposal called pUSD received more than 75% support early in 2025, and more than $5.6 million in DOT was committed.

Report points of divergence

Dollar value of liquidity pool funds in the current referendum:

The proposal calls for initial liquidity of US$5 million, of which US$2.5 million will be used to mink the USDT of stablecoins, and another US$2.5 million will be allocated to DOT of the liquidity pool.

CryptoBriefing points out:

The current referendum shows that there are US$1.5 million in USDT and US$1.5 million in DOT in the pool, while each asset amount cited in the proposed text is US$2.5 million.

TronWeekly pointed out:

(Note: The original text does not provide specific values here, only lists the source name and timestamp, so the fact that it points out the differences is retained.)

How to verify the truth

The way to resolve this controversy is to consult the on-chain text of OpenGov Referendum 1944 recorded in the Polkadot Governance Module.

The analysis recommends that

the existence of the 1944 referendum and its 97.5% support rating can be regarded as a fait accompli, but do not rely on any single dollar figure to determine the size of the pool until directly checking the on-chain referendum text.
