CryptoBriefing and TronWeekly give different current liquidity-pool figures for Polkadot's dotUSD referendum, a discrepancy larger than rounding.

CryptoBriefing and TronWeekly give different current liquidity-pool figures for Polkadot's dotUSD referendum, a discrepancy larger than rounding.

What all sources agree on

• Polkadot governance is voting on OpenGov Referendum #1944 to create a native stablecoin called dotUSD.
• The referendum has drawn roughly 97.5% approval from voters.
• The proposal includes a DOT-dotUSD liquidity pool on Asset Hub.
• dotUSD is described as an over-collateralized stablecoin backed primarily by DOT.
• A prior proposal for a DOT-backed stablecoin called pUSD secured more than 75% support earlier in 2025, with over $5.6 million in DOT committed.

Where the reports disagree

What would settle it: The on-chain text of OpenGov Referendum #1944 as recorded on Polkadot's governance module.

What to make of it

Treat the existence and 97.5% approval of Referendum #1944 as established, but do not rely on any single dollar figure for the pool's funding until the on-chain referendum text is checked directly.
