Stripe, Visa, Mastercard, Coinbase and Shopify were among its founders, while businesses can begin integrating OUSD through Stripe, BVNK and Visa.<\/p>\n<p>Stripe co-founder and Chief Executive Patrick Collison said Open Standard was designed so that most reserve yield flows back to participating partners rather than being retained by the stablecoin issuer.<\/p>\n<p>Open Standard says those rewards are allocated based on OUSD supply and the activity partners generate, giving payment companies and platforms an economic incentive to distribute the token.<\/p>\n<p>That model enters a market where scale remains heavily concentrated. Dollar stablecoins are worth more than $300 billion, according to <em>CryptoSlate&#8217;s<\/em> data, with Tether\u2019s USDT at roughly $183.8 billion and Circle\u2019s USDC near $74.1 billion. Together they account for about 84% of the market.<\/p>\n<p>OUSD\u2019s roughly $468 million supply represents about 0.15% of the sector, leaving it far behind incumbents with deeper exchange liquidity, broader integrations and established payment usage.<\/p>\n<p>The next test begins as Open Standard expands distribution beyond launch liquidity. Coinbase starts supporting the network Oct. 1, while additional Mastercard distribution through BVNK is planned, giving businesses more routes to hold, move and deploy OUSD across payment and treasury workflows.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Featured,Payments,Stablecoins,bridge,ethereum,OUSD,Solana,stripe,Visabridge,ethereum,OUSD,Solana,stripe,Visa#Open #USD #bets #Stripes #trillion #network #break #USDT #USDCs #grip1790870566<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Open USD, a new stablecoin backed by more than 200 organizations, has launched with about $468 million in circulation and a distribution partnership with Stripe, one of the largest payment networks.
