Cardano-Based Stablecoin Coming In 2023
Emurgo, the official commercial arm and co-founder of the Cardano blockchain network, plans to launch USDA, a dollar-pegged stablecoin, in early 2023.
USDA will be the first fully fiat-backed, regulatory-compliant stablecoin in the Cardano ecosystem. The USDA is part of Emurgo’s Anzens product, a broader plan to offer users a variety of financial services and products that run on Cardano-based assets. These plans include lending and borrowing services, crypto-based card payments, and bridges between traditional markets and decentralized applications (dApps).
