Robinhood, Kraken, and Paxos Launch Global Stablecoin Network

The new USDG stablecoin aims to boost global adoption and share economic benefits among its partners.

Overview

  • The Global Dollar Network introduces USDG, a stablecoin issued by Paxos in Singapore, targeting worldwide stablecoin usage.
  • The network includes major players like Robinhood, Kraken, Galaxy Digital, Anchorage Digital, Bullish, and Nuvei.
  • USDG is designed to distribute nearly all reserve income among network participants, differing from traditional stablecoin models.
  • Despite its launch, USDG faces competition from dominant market players Tether and USD Coin, which hold 90% of the market share.
  • The initiative aligns with expectations of increased U.S. regulatory acceptance of digital assets, regardless of election outcomes.
