Key Developments & Data
Open Standard officially launched the Open USD (OUSD) stablecoin natively across Ethereum, Solana, Base, and Tempo. The founders injected over $1B in capital to seed the initial token supply ahead of launch. Stripe’s newly acquired Bridge infrastructure acts as the sole issuer, parking the fiat reserves directly at BlackRock, Lead Bank, and BNY. Partner companies routing volume through the network receive equity rewards from the cap table proportional to their activity. "The overwhelming majority of our cap table is going to be distributed back to founders and non-founders based on how they help grow the network." — Zach Abrams

Zubiqo Strategic Assessment
Primary Impact
High-volume cross-border remittance and payroll companies stand to benefit most from the zero-cost minting and burning model.
Strategic Shift
Payment giants are aggressively vertically integrating stablecoin issuance to capture the underlying reserve yield instead of relying on third-party operators.
The Ripple Effect
Major B2B software platforms will likely route their corporate treasury and vendor payouts through OUSD to capture the equity and yield kickbacks.
