On June 30, 2026, Stripe, Visa, Mastercard, Coinbase, BlackRock, Standard Chartered, Google, Shopify, and more than 140 other companies have signed on to Open USD, a new US dollar-backed stablecoin initiative operated by Open Standard.

The project is designed for powering global money movement and is expected to go live later in 2026.

The initiative is led by Zach Abrams, the cofounder of Bridge, which was acquired by Stripe in late 2024.
