ApolloX DAO Votes on Migrating Away From BUSD Pool

BUSD Phaseout Impacts DeFi

The Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) for ApolloX is considering a proposal to move away from staking rewards for the original APX-BUSD LP token, citing “the uncertainty and potential risks of the BUSD stablecoin.”

The BNB Chain derivatives trading platform is one of many Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocols that will have to make similar decisions following news that Paxos Global will stop minting the Binance-branded stablecoin on Ethereum.

For example, BSC News reported earlier that the DAO for massive crypto lending platform Aave Protocol is weighing a proposal to freeze its BUSD reserves.

The ApolloX proposal gives voters four options for migrating staking rewards: APX-USDC, APX-USDT, APX-BNB or keeping APX-BUSD.

Very early returns have APX-BNB leading with 65% of the vote. The DAO vote ends Feb. 18.
