Background on the Global Dollar Network
The Global Dollar Network was established by fintech and digital asset leaders including Anchorage Digital, Robinhood, and Galaxy Digital.
Led by a consortium, it aims to drive stablecoin innovation across the industry.
Implications of Visa’s Membership
Visa’s membership validates the stablecoin ecosystem, signifying potential growth in institutional investment and liquidity. Enhanced custody solutions from Zodia Custody align with this growth.
This expansion likely enhances liquidity and stablecoin adoption for USDG, boosting ecosystems such as Ethereum and Solana, widely integrated into DeFi protocols.
Financial impacts are anticipated, though specific data remains unpublished. Past stablecoin consortiums suggest increased liquidity and adoption, similar outcomes are projected here.
