The Stellar Development Foundation is excited to welcome Ondo Finance and its yield-bearing stablecoin, the United States Dollar Yield (USDY), to the Stellar network.
USDY, Ondo’s “yieldcoin” product backed by high-quality short-term U.S. Treasuries and bank demand deposits, will launch on Stellar in the coming months. This addition will further expand the breadth of real-world assets being used for a variety of payment, remittance, and onchain financial applications.
Ondo joins industry leaders such as Circle, Paxos, Franklin Templeton, and WisdomTree Prime as world-class digital asset issuers who are using the powerful, built-in features and controls of Stellar to tokenize real-world assets. The Stellar network boasts a global ecosystem of interoperable wallets, exchanges, fintechs, and banking partners that will enable USDY to achieve global distribution across 180 countries worldwide.
Driving Real-World Asset Utility
Leveraging the speed, affordability, and global network of on and off-ramps of Stellar, Ondo’s USDY will provide non-U.S. individuals and institutions with an easily accessible, compliant, yield-bearing stablecoin that can be used in a variety of financial use cases, including:
- Treasury management and collateralization: Offering 24/7 liquidity and transparency, enabling financial institutions to maintain cash positions by earning yield on idle funds while maintaining access to capital. When used as collateral, USDY may help reduce investor risk in multi-party financial transactions.
- Enhanced cross-border payments: Allowing businesses to optimize their balance sheets and enhance capital efficiency. Rather than holding non-interest-bearing pre-funded accounts, businesses can hold value in USDY and convert it when needed, leveraging Stellar’s near-instant settlement and low-cost transactions to improve global payments.
- Wealth preservation: Supporting individuals in pursuit of savings and earning goals. USDY, in particular, combines the stability of a US-treasuries backed asset with the convenience of an everyday payment tool, making it a flexible and practical choice for wealth preservation.
NOTE: USDY is not, and may not be, offered, sold, or otherwise made available in the US or to US persons. USDY has not been registered under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act") or pursuant to securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred in the US or to US persons unless registered under the Act or an exemption or exclusion from the registration requirements thereof is available. Additional restrictions may apply.

Nothing herein constitutes any offer to sell, or any solicitation of an offer to buy, USDY. Acquiring USDY involves risks. A USDY holder may incur losses, including total loss of their purchase price. Past performance is not an indication of future results.
