WHY WE TRACK APYUSD
The research angle.
apyUSD is exactly the kind of product the Digital Credit page should explain: a yield wrapper that looks stable at first glance but must be read through wrapper, source, exit, and proof.

Backing
Apyx docs describe apyUSD as the savings token layered on top of apxUSD. Yield comes from the protocol collateral stack, which is centered on DAT preferred equity and dividend flows.
Peg mechanism
apyUSD is not meant to be read as the base stable dollar. It is a vault receipt whose value depends on the apxUSD exchange rate, vault mechanics, and withdrawal process.
Yield
Apyx says apyUSD yield is sourced from dividends and distributed through exchange-rate appreciation. Rates may vary with market conditions and protocol parameters.
Redemption
Apyx describes redemptions as asynchronous: request, roughly 30-day cooldown, then claim. Users do not receive yield during cooldown under the current docs.

Overall score = 5.19 under the Bitcoin-holder Digital Credit standard. apyUSD gets credit for clear ERC-4626 wrapper docs and a legible dividend source, but the 30-day-style asynchronous redemption flow, wrapper complexity, jurisdiction limits, and offchain collateral stack keep it below direct listed-market instruments.
