Pierre Person

Pierre Person is CEO of Usual, a Paris-based stablecoin project he has led since July 2022. At Usual, he oversees the development of USD0, a stablecoin backed by tokenised real-world assets including US Treasuries, and USD0++, a liquid staking token representing a four-year staking commitment of USD0 that generates daily USUAL token rewards. In January 2025, Usual introduced a floor price of $0.87 for USD0++ and ended a fixed 1:1 parity with USD0, a decision Person attributed to a sequencing error in implementing the protocol's redemption and floor-price mechanisms. Since January 2023, he has also held an Associate Professor position at Sciences Po.

Person served as Member of the National Assembly for Paris's 6th constituency from June 2017 to June 2022, representing La République En Marche. During that period he was Secretary of the Finance Committee from 2017 to 2019, serving as rapporteur on the Ministry of Culture's budget, and subsequently joined the Committee on Legal Affairs. He was co-rapporteur of a parliamentary mission on crypto assets, whose conclusions were published in January 2019 and contributed to the adoption of France's PSAN regulatory approvals framework. He also served as Deputy General of LREM from December 2018 to September 2020, a position he resigned from over disagreements on party direction. Prior to his parliamentary career, he worked as a lawyer and as a junior public-sector consultant at CGI Business Consulting. He holds law degrees from the University of Poitiers, the University of Lorraine, and Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne.
