Open USD launched as Stripe's default stablecoin per The Defiant, with Mastercard, Visa and Coinbase integrations cited and the Coinbase-backed token live on Ethereum, Solana and Base. Circulating value reportedly passed $470 million within two hours, over 90% on Tempo Chain. CoinDesk reports the model distributes equity to platforms using the coin — distinct from Tether and Circle's reserve-yield economics.
