Crypto exchange OKX said it is offering 4.1% yields on USDG in weekly payouts, without staking lockups.

OKX is responding to intensifying competition for stablecoin dominance, it said in an emailed announcement on Tuesday.

USDG is minted by stablecoin issuer Paxos and is backed 1:1 by U.S. dollars.

OKX joined the Global Dollar Network in July, and now brings USDG to onshore and offshore users, pitching it as a “dollar that pays you back” during quiet markets or when traders park idle funds.

Yield has become the key battleground in stablecoins, with fiat-backed options such as USDC and USDG competing against decentralized designs like DAI, and algorithmic models that have infamously struggled to maintain pegs.

OKX described stablecoins as "crypto's connective tissue," in Tuesday's announcement.

Stablecoins, crypto tokens pegged to the value of a traditional financial asset such as a fiat currency, now underpin much of the crypto economy, powering payments, cross-border transfers, and DeFi strategies.

Their importance lies in maintaining a value consistent with a fiat currency, meaning users can hedge against more volatile cryptoassets without having to remove funds from the crypto ecosystem entirely.
