Visa, Mastercard, and Coinbase have collaborated to launch a new global stablecoin called Open Standard, aiming to boost the adoption of stablecoins for everyday transactions. The initiative, backed by over 140 businesses, plans to introduce a US dollar-pegged coin named Open USD later this year. This development occurs amidst a regulatory landscape shaped by the GENIUS Act, which mandates reserve requirements and consumer protections for stablecoin issuers, and a generally favorable stance towards the crypto industry from the current administration.
