## STG-USD (Stargate) — Asset Profile

**Important classification caveat:** STG is the governance/utility token of Stargate, a cross-chain liquidity transfer protocol, and STG-USD denotes its trading pair against the U.S. dollar. It trades on cryptocurrency exchanges rather than on a traditional securities exchange, so it is more accurately a *crypto asset* than a "publicly traded asset" in the equity sense. This distinction matters because the drivers of its price (protocol adoption, DAO governance, inter-protocol negotiations) differ materially from corporate earnings or macro equity factors.
