The name of the new alliance is Open Standard, and the name of the new stablecoin is Open USD. The word 'open' is clearly written on the flag, but it is obvious that the core driving force behind it is the combination Stripe/Bridge/Tempo. If you carefully read the published information, Stripe is unwilling to put its own name first, but instead stands in second place, allowing the payment network giant Visa to rank first. The only sign is to make Bridge's CEO the founding CEO of this alliance. It is said that this matter has been pushed forward for a year. So you will see that Stripe quickly announced that OUSD will become the default stablecoin used by merchants on the Stripe platform (if you have used their newly launched Stripe Treasury, you can feel the low friction advantage of stablecoins in global payment and fund management for enterprises). Think about it again, Tempo has always used a "USD" symbol as a placeholder to determine the gas of this chain. It is highly likely that OUSD will be used for gas production in the future. By the way, Bridge's fiat stablecoin swap network should also consider OUSD as a native or recommended settlement medium in the future. If you have used Plasma One's card, you can feel the comfort of this application that allows you to deposit, consume, and earn profits through USDT/USDC, while also converting low friction into US dollars to enter your bank account. Plasma One's withdrawal channel uses Bridge's fiat stablecoin exchange network, which allows you to experience it. ） In theory, the combination of Stripe/Bridge/Tempo has already completed the entire chain, and it is entirely possible to issue a stablecoin on its own, and then promote stablecoins using stablecoin issuers like Tether/Circle. But instead of doing so, we formed an alliance and shared the profits from stablecoin issuance together. Bigger goals are good for both users and channels. Of course, other stablecoins will not all die (there are obvious differences in demand). If this alliance works well, a better "anchor" will soon emerge in stablecoins.
