USDG, issued by Paxos and governed by the Global Dollar Network (GDN), is fully backed 1:1 by U.S. dollars held in regulated financial institutions. Since 2018, Paxos has overseen over $180 billion in tokenization activity, providing institutional-grade stability to digital assets . USDG0 leverages LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard to enable the Global Dollar to move safely across different blockchain networks, creating interoperable and compliant liquidity opportunities.

Expanding stablecoin utility across DeFi ecosystems

The first phase of USDG0 rollout integrates Hyperliquid, Plume, and Aptos, each highlighting unique benefits for decentralized finance and tokenized yield generation. On Hyperliquid, USDG0 supports deep liquidity and yield-aligned trading across HyperEVM and HIP-3 markets, powering incentive-aligned lending and Hyperbeat’s Liquid bank. Aptos benefits from Paxos’ enterprise-grade stablecoin rails on a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain, while Plume enhances cross-chain liquidity and treasury management.

Across all three ecosystems, USDG0 enables applications and protocols to embed stablecoin liquidity natively, earn yield aligned with treasury benchmarks, and bridge value between networks without friction.

Bringing institutional stability to next-gen finance

USDG0 represents a major step toward integrating regulated, fully-backed stablecoins into scalable DeFi infrastructure. By combining institutional-grade stability with omnichain functionality, Paxos and LayerZero aim to foster secure, interoperable, and yield-efficient environments for users and developers across multiple networks. The rollout marks a critical milestone in making compliant stablecoin liquidity a foundational component of modern decentralized finance.

Notably, Aptos Labs announced the acquisition of HashPalette Inc., a subsidiary of HashPort Inc. and the developer of the Palette blockchain. This acquisition is part of Aptos’ strategic initiative to strengthen its foothold in Japan’s rapidly growing blockchain ecosystem, further enhancing its value proposition for users and partners alike.
