The remaining stablecoins from these sales will be made available for user redemption.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Furthermore, TangibleDAO maintains that Baskets, pools of tokenized real estate, are almost ready for launch. They will play a crucial role in the second phase of the redemption process. When users receive Basket tokens, they will have the option to hold the real estate-backed tokens and earn yields or trade them on Pearl.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Once Baskets are deployed, the team will open redemptions, allowing USDR to be fully redeemed for a blend of stablecoins, Basket tokens, and locked TNGBL 3,3+ NFTs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>\u201cBaskets are 100% backed by tokenized real estate.
