The cooperation between USUAL and DOGE is false news. USUAL briefly broke through 1.6 US dollars and then fell back.

PANews reported on December 20 that according to James Fishback, the account of Vivek Ramaswamy, co-leader of the U.S. government efficiency department DOGE, had been hacked and a false statement was issued claiming that the DOGE department had reached a cooperation with stablecoin issuer USUAL to Reduce the federal fiscal deficit and promote cryptocurrency initiatives.

Fishback confirmed that this statement was false news and Vivek has been locked out of his account. Binance quotes show that USUAL briefly exceeded $1.6 and is now trading at about $1.51.
