The first ZK-powered neodollar is here. USX, built on Scroll and powered by LayerZero’s OFT Standard, introduces a new class of stablecoin — one that’s private on Scroll and borderless through LayerZero. USX combines zero-knowledge privacy with global interoperability, creating a dollar that can move freely across more than 150 blockchains while maintaining a unified supply. Users will be able to hold, spend, and stake USX across DeFi, starting with Scroll and Ethereum, with gasless transactions and integration into ether.fi Cash (Q1 2026). Money built on software is money that moves everywhere. LayerZero is building the technology that makes that future possible.

Obex is our bet on backing builders innovating with Stablecoins. “Sky and USDS are some of the longest standing decentralized infrastructure in the world and have proven resilient at multi-billion-dollar scale over a long period of time. The opportunity now is to bring that stability and utility into new ecosystems where the next generation of users and builders are emerging. Obex is an important step in that direction, helping expand access to better money and funding the teams building the future of global finance.” - Bryan Pellegrino Building with Stablecoins? ...

Obex, a new #incubator for #stablecoins designed to support and finance teams building yield-generating stablecoins on the Sky Protocol, has launched out of San Francisco. 👉 Obex will access up to $2.5 billion of Sky authorized USDS stablecoins for deployment into select projects that graduate from the Obex incubator 👉 Obex has raised $37 million in a round led by Framework Ventures, LayerZero, and Sky 👉 Sky rebranded from MakerDAO last year is now considered the third largest stablecoin issuer 👉 Administered by Framework Ventures, a VC firm best known for their early moves in the DeFi space including The Graph, Chainlink, Immutable X, and Aave 👉Obex appears to be offering stablecoin founders what amounts to a hybrid between traditional early-stage venture funding and direct access to institutional scale liquidity “We believe smart money looks to USDS as the saving standard, Obex will play an important role in creating the rails of an upgraded, more efficient and transparent financial system and scaling Sky," Rune Christensen, Sky “Banks and credit funds have spent decades generating returns off-chain across asset-backed lending, trade finance, and private credit, Obex is designed to help founders bring those institutional yield primitives into composable, decentralized markets,” Parker Edwards Framework Ventures. “If you’re trying to do something capital-intensive within crypto that needs to be financed through stablecoins or tokenized assets, this is the program, the ambition is to supercharge Sky so it can compete with the “Apollos and Blackstones” of the world,” said Vance Spencer, co-founder of Framework Ventures.

Introducing Obex, a $37M incubator by Sky (formerly MakerDAO), Framework Ventures and LayerZero to fund stablecoin innovators and enable Sky to deploy up to $2.5B in USDS to selected projects. Sky is one of the longest tenured decentralized applications: governed onchain, transparently collateralized, and proven over ~8 years. @obexincubator scales Sky by funding builders to create new yield, liquidity, and credit opportunities for the $10B protocol. Obex is built around Framework Ventures’ thesis that stablecoins can function as powerful capital-formation tools, enabling them to compete with traditional institutions in financing capital-intensive projects. Obex will bring the Sky ecosystem into new markets, enabling the USDS to be utilized at scale, anywhere there is demand: be it from capital markets or across chains. Obex is a call to builders from Sky and Framework. If you’re building at the frontier of finance and the internet, rethinking how value moves, settles, and compounds in real time, Obex is set up to enable you to innovate at scale. learn more and apply for the Q1 2026 Cohort here: https://lnkd.in/esfHevUU

USDG0 Is Here. Developed by Paxos Labs and powered by LayerZero, USDG0 is the extension to USDG, the $1B regulated USD stablecoin, built to expand the Global Dollar to new ecosystems, starting with Hyperliquid, Plume, and Aptos Foundation. Built with LayerZero’s OFT Standard, USDG0 brings Paxos-grade trust to new chains for users to build, trade, and transact. With LayerZero, USDG0: ▪ Moves 1:1 without slippage across chains ▪ Maintains Paxos-level security for all txs ▪ Settles in seconds, like data on the internet ▪ Can be used in any DeFi app Phase 1 of USDG0 will see it rolled out to Hyperliquid, Plume, and Aptos, with ecosystem initiatives launched to drive adoption and usage. For users, USDG0 can be moved to Hyperliquid on the USDG0 portal today, with Plume and Aptos support coming soon on Stargate. Capital should move freely. With Paxos Labs expanding USDG, a fintech-issued asset is compatible with all crypto infrastructure — chains, apps, bridges — enabling dollars to move cheaper, further, and faster than ever before. LayerZero is building better money technology, and Paxos Labs is using LayerZero for expanding better money to three new blockchains — with more to come. This is the Global Dollar, in motion.
