In a move reflecting the growing institutional embrace of digital assets, reports indicate that BlackRock, Coinbase, Ripple, Mastercard and over a dozen financial firms have partnered to launch a new stablecoin called OUSD. According to reports, the token distributes reserve earnings to participating institutions through a shared governance model, marking a shift in stablecoin ownership structure.
The launch comes amid intensifying competition in the stablecoin market, currently dominated by USDC and USDT. The involvement of heavyweight names could boost the sector's credibility, particularly as the revenue-sharing model may attract further institutions. Per market data, BlackRock closed at $950.17 (June 29), Coinbase at $151.65, and Mastercard at $511.25 (June 30).
