Kraken Joins Forces With Robinhood and Other Crypto Firms To Roll Out Global Dollar Stablecoin
The stablecoin issuer Paxos partnered with the crypto exchange Kraken, the retail trading giant Robinhood and a handful of other digital asset firms to launch a new stablecoin network for enterprises. The new “Global Dollar Network” is an open network that aims to increase stablecoin usage around the globe, according to a new press release from Paxos. The new network’s native stablecoin is the Global Dollar (USDG), which Paxos issues out of Singapore. The stablecoin firm notes that the asset is designed for enterprises and will be compliant with the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s upcoming stablecoin framework. Explains Charles Cascarilla, the chief executive and co-founder of Paxos, “Stablecoins are replatforming the financial system and revolutionizing how people interact with US dollars and payments. However, the leading stablecoins are unregulated and retain all the reserve economics. Global Dollar Network will return virtually all rewards to participants
