Open Standard has launched a new stablecoin, OUSD, with the backing of 140 enterprises including Visa and Mastercard. OUSD adopts a collaborative management model that distributes protocol revenue to participants, directly challenging the dominance of USDT and USDC. Despite strong traditional finance partnerships, analysts believe OUSD will struggle to dislodge the incumbents in the short term. The launch marks a notable entry of legacy financial giants into stablecoin infrastructure and could boost overall stablecoin adoption in the global financial system.
OUSD Gains Support from 140 Giants, Including Visa and Mastercard
Open Standard has officially unveiled its stablecoin OUSD, supported by a consortium of 140 enterprises that includes payment heavyweights Visa and Mastercard. The project employs a collaborative governance structure that directly distributes protocol-generated revenue to participants, positioning itself as a challenger to the current stablecoin duopoly of USDT and USDC.
While the list of partners is impressive, industry observers remain skeptical about OUSD's ability to meaningfully disrupt the entrenched liquidity and network effects of USDT and USDC. The short-term impact is expected to be limited. Nevertheless, the involvement of Visa, Mastercard, and other traditional financial institutions signals a deeper integration of stablecoin infrastructure into the mainstream financial ecosystem. This could accelerate global adoption of stablecoins in payments and settlements, even if OUSD itself does not become a market leader.
