Atlas targets Q3 2026 USAFi launch under Dubai VARA with Nasdaq-listed ETF backing
Atlas plans to launch USAFi in Q3 2026 under Dubai’s VARA framework, positioning it as a regulated permissionless digital security backed by a Nasdaq-listed ETF. The initiative marks economist Nouriel Roubini’s first step into digital assets after years as one of crypto’s most vocal critics. Atlas says the token will be supported by Nasdaq-listed USAF reserves and is intended to offer DeFi access while helping preserve value.
