# USH stablecoin The ceiling price of USH is $1.10, as users can always deposit the equivalent of $110 of collateral to mint $100 worth of USH. If USH is trading above $1.10, a profit could be made by selling USH on the market. To establish a floor price for USH, there are two different mechanisms. If a user has a loan and finds USH to be below $1, they can repay their loan at a lower price by buying more USH, in turn stabilizing the price of USH. Alternatively, they can [redeem](/protocol-overview/redeeming-against-a-vault.md) their USH.

We'll assume SOL price is at 50/USDC * With 1000 USDC you buy 20 SOL * With that you deposit into a Hedge vault and mint 909.09 USH (the max possible at 100% collateral ratio). * You sell the 909.09 USH on the market for 1018.18 USDC. (909.09 \* 1.12) * You started with 1000 USDC and now have 1018.18 without ever needing to repay your vault. In the process you made 18.18 USDC profit --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
