Whether this coin clears the published standards, and the filings behind that answer. The screen runs first and nothing on the trading side can override it.
Structure, momentum, positioning and levels. Separate from the Sharia verdict above, which this side never overrides.
A coin files no financial statements, so the debt, receivables and interest-income ratios we run on companies cannot be computed for OUSG. Its verdict is our own, from the crypto standards set out in full further down this page.

Price Forecast
The range is measured volatility (ATR over the horizon), not a target — a wider band means a more volatile asset, not a stronger view. The direction is the indicator tally below. Every forecast is recorded when made and scored against the real price when it comes due, including the wrong ones. Not a recommendation, and not a fatwa.
Our Sharia Verdict
The return, or the reserve behind the peg, is interest (riba). Every standard we screen on rejects this without exception.
- Pays the holder interest yes Riba. A return paid for holding, whatever it is called.
- Primary use is prohibited no Gambling, adult content or conventional lending as the main use.
- A derivative or leveraged no Leverage, perpetuals or synthetic exposure rather than the asset.
- Has a real function yes Manfa'ah — the token does something besides exist to be traded.
- Governance is transparent not established An open protocol and an identifiable process behind decisions.
- Holds short-term US Treasury bills via iShares SHV ETF
- Treasury bills generate interest paid to token holders
- Tokenized representation of underlying government bond fund
Independently corroborated. 2 separate models read this coin and agreed on every fact the verdict turns on, though 1 minor field could not be established by all of them.
Not established: transparent governance. Our verdict does not assume anything about these — where they would change the answer, we say so rather than guessing.
Fiqh Council of North America (currency treatment) NON-COMPLIANT
Treated as currency, every riba ruling applies - and this token pays, or is backed by, interest.
Fiqh Council of North America, “Regarding the Islamic Ruling on Bitcoins” — default permissibility; treated as fiat currency, so all riba rulings and bai’ al-sarf apply
AMJA (permissible absent clear prohibition) NON-COMPLIANT
Riba is the clear evidence of prohibition this framework asks for.
Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America — Dr. Salah Al-Sawy (Secretary General) and Dr. Yasir Qadhi: transactions are permissible unless clear evidence prohibits them
SC Malaysia SAC (digital assets as mal) NON-COMPLIANT
Riba: the return, or the reserve behind the peg, is interest.
Securities Commission Malaysia, Shariah Advisory Council, 233rd-234th meetings, June-July 2020
Amanah Advisors layered screen (project / token / staking) NON-COMPLIANT
Token layer: the return mechanism is interest.
Amanah Advisors, Crypto Shariah Screening Framework (Mufti Faraz Adam)
Amanie Advisors (staking as a service fee) NON-COMPLIANT
A lending-derived return is not a service fee, however it is presented.
Amanie Advisors (Dr. Daud Bakar) — Shariah certification of Ethereum staking; validation treated as a real service rendered to the network rather than a return on capital
AAOIFI riba principles (adapted to token returns) NON-COMPLIANT
A lending- or interest-derived return is riba regardless of what it is called.
AAOIFI Shariah Standards - riba and non-permissible income, applied to the token's return mechanism (no dedicated crypto standard exists)
Restrictive position (gharar / no intrinsic backing) QUESTIONABLE
Represents a claim on an identifiable off-chain asset rather than a free-floating digital token.
Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani (crypto trading and investment impermissible); Dar al-Ifta al-Misriyyah (Egypt, 2018); Diyanet Isleri Baskanligi (Turkey, 2017)
The restrictive position above is shown but excluded from our own verdict: it rejects most digital assets including Bitcoin on gharar alone, so letting it decide would mark nearly everything non-compliant — which is neither our conclusion nor a defensible reading of the evidence. Hiding it would be worse.
This is our own screening verdict, reached by applying each named standard ourselves to the facts above, last established 2026-08-29. Research, not a fatwa — for a decision that binds you, ask a scholar you trust.

About Ondo Short-Term U.S. Government Bond Fund
OUSG is a tokenized short-term US Treasury bills ETF, overseen and managed by Ondo Capital Management, a subsidiary of Ondo Finance. The significant majority of this portfolio is held in the iShares Short Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ: SHV). There is also a small portion of USDC and USD for liquidity purposes. OUSG brings exposure to the ‘risk-free’ US Treasury rate on-chain for the first time. OUSG is an investment option that delivers a stable and predictable return while offering deep liquidity. Ondo funds such as OUSG only ever invest into ETFs backed by secure, stable, and liquid securities; these are the same assets in which trillions of dollars are invested every day by the world's largest institutions. OUSG was developed alongside two other fund tokens, OSTB and OHYG, by Ondo Finance, a software development firm in DeFi. Ondo launched in August 2021. Its first product was Ondo Vaults, a structured finance protocol on Ethereum. Later that year, Ondo launched Liquidity-as-a-Service (LaaS), facilitating over $210M in total liquidity provided. As DeFi yields compressed in 2022, the Ondo team decided to sunset Vaults and LaaS (together, "Ondo V1") to focus on next-generation protocols. Ondo V2, including Ondo’s tokenized funds, were announced by Nathan Allman in January 2023. Ondo funds subsequently opened to subscriptions soon after. What can OUSG be Used For? For investors who pass KYC and AML screening and sign subscription documents, OUSG tokens represent ownership in the fund. Investors can transfer these tokens between each other to effect changes in fund ownership. Investors can also use smart contracts to facilitate their financial arrangements such as by engaging in lending and trading activities with each other. The tokens themselves have transfer restrictions that will ensure they do not end up in the hands of anyone not appropriately qualified as an investor in the fund.

Before you act on this
The questions worth asking about any verdict on this page, answered plainly.
Why is crypto screened differently?
The ratio screen needs a balance sheet. A coin has neither filings nor a debt figure, so the same test cannot run. Compliance turns instead on what the token actually is and does.
What makes a coin non-compliant here?
Most commonly, the token is a claim on interest: a lending protocol, a yield-bearing stablecoin, or a product whose return comes from lending at interest rather than from work performed.
Is a compliant verdict permanent?
No. A protocol can add a lending product or change what its token does. Any verdict that moves is recorded, and a verdict that has not moved is reported as such rather than assumed.
Is the scholarly debate resolved?
Not on every coin. Where real disagreement exists, HTR records both positions instead of picking one. This is a research tool; a ruling for your own holding should come from a qualified scholar.
Open research, not a fatwa. HTR applies published screening standards to filings and publishes what they say, including when they disagree. Nothing here is financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell. Verdicts can change when new filings land.
