Open Standard’s OpenUSD stablecoin draws backing from 140+ firms including Visa, BlackRock and Coinbase

AI Market Summary
A consortium-backed stablecoin, OpenUSD (OUSD), backed by 140+ firms (including Visa, Coinbase, and BlackRock) is driving market attention ahead of a planned launch, highlighting fee-free mint/redeem, reserve-yield sharing, and collective governance. The announcement appears to pressure incumbent stablecoin economics; Circle's stock sold off sharply, reflecting concerns that OUSD could intensify competition around distribution and revenue sharing in dollar stablecoins.
