Why USDM is different
Six properties no other Cardano stablecoin combines.
Cardano-Native
Minted directly on Cardano. No bridges, no wrapped tokens, no counterparty risk from cross-chain mechanics.
Daily On-Chain Proof
A decentralized oracle network pushes reserve verification directly to the Cardano blockchain every 24 hours.
Dual Regulated
FinCEN-registered as a US Money Services Business. MiCA-compliant in the EU via NBX partnership.
Institutional Custody
Reserve assets held at Fidelity Investments and Western Asset Management, not crypto-native custodians.
Instant Settlement
Cardano's eUTxO model enables near-instant finality without mempool congestion.
Dual Regulated
FinCEN-registered in the US and MiCA-compliant in Europe via NBX, meeting the highest regulatory standards.
Token Specifications
Technical details for developers and integrators.
