A coalition of over 140 companies, including Blackrock, Coinbase, Mastercard, Stripe, and Visa, have [joined Open USD](https://joinopenstandard.com/blog/introducing-open-usd) (OUSD), a new stablecoin effort governed by an independent entity called Open Standard that will distribute its revenues to its member partners. 

### **What's the Scoop?**
- **The pitch:** Once live, Open USD will let businesses mint and redeem the stablecoin with no fees or volume caps, while returning most of the reserve earnings back to participating partners minus a management fee.
- **Open governance:** Unlike most existing stablecoins, OUSD will be run by Open Standard, a separate company whose board is made up of its partner businesses, intended to keep decisions aligned with the collective network rather than a single corporate issuer.
- **Heavyweight backing:** The inaugural partner list spans banks (BBVA, BNY, DBS, Standard Chartered), crypto-native players (Aave, Coinbase, MetaMask, Morpho, Solana), payments giants (American Express, Mastercard, Visa), and tech platforms (DoorDash, Google, Shopify).
- **Coming soon:** Stripe [said](https://x.com/stripe/status/2071948464762618051) it's making OUSD the default stablecoin for businesses transacting on Stripe, while Coinbase [confirmed](https://x.com/coinbase/status/2071952368497787287) OUSD is coming to Base and other chains later this year. Open USD is expected to go live later in 2026.
