# INV (INV-USD) — Digital Asset Review

*Note on framing: "INV-USD" is the INV token priced against the US dollar; the "-USD" is the quote currency and not part of the asset's name. INV is a token, not an equity/ETF/security, so there are no company filings or earnings behind it.*

## What INV Is

INV is the governance token of **Inverse Finance**, a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol launched in 2021. The protocol operates a suite of interlinked DeFi applications:

- **DinoSwap** — a decentralized exchange (DEX)
- **Dynamo** — a lending and borrowing protocol
- **DOLA** — a decentralized, over-collateralized stablecoin
