# Launch and Market-Making

gmUSD will be minted with gDAI and gmdUSDC by GMD protocol and a few of our launch partners to initiate market making for gmUSD- gDAI and gmUSD — gmdUSDC pair.

Approximately 250,000 gmUSD will be minted with this method to bootstrap initial liquidity.

**To acquire gmUSD**, users will have to buy it on market using gDAI or gmdUSDC, likely at a little premium after LP fees and price slippage.
