Consortium including Visa, Mastercard jointly initiate fresh global stablecoin
A consortium including Visa, Mastercard and Coinbase on Tuesday launched a fresh joint stablecoin in a bid to broaden the adoption of the virtual tokens.
The enterprise, called Unlock Standard, brings together more than 140 businesses for the stablecoin grid and will question a fresh US-dollar pegged stablecoin called Unlock USD, which is expected to go reside later this year.
It is aimed at accelerating the usage of the virtual tokens worldwide by addressing hurdles that businesses confront in scaling stablecoin adoption, Unlock Standard said.
"Existing stablecoins have great strengths, still to apply them at scale, businesses need something that's unlock, low-charge, high-throughput, broadly accessible, and aligned to their interests," Unlock Standard founding CEO Zach Abrams said.
It will let businesses mint and redeem Unlock USD without any charge and limits on volumes to help them construct for scale. Earnings from Unlock USD's reserves backing the virtual token will plus be shared among the initiative's allies, minus a management charge to cover operational costs.
