Open Standard has unveiled Open USD, a new dollar-pegged stablecoin backed by 140 major institutions including Visa, Mastercard, BlackRock, Google, and Coinbase. The stablecoin introduces zero-cost minting and redemption, reserve yield sharing with partners, and neutral governance, directly challenging Circle's dominance in the USDC market. In response, Circle's equity token CRCL plummeted over 17% in a single day. This development intensifies competition in the stablecoin sector and may prompt further regulatory attention.
