独立企業のOpen Standardが、ドル建てステーブルコイン「Open USD」を発表した。Visa、Mastercard、Stripe、BlackRock、Coinbaseなど140社超が参画し、参加企業が共同で運営するオープンな標準を掲げる。準備資産の利回りは、少額の運営手数料を除き、普及と流通を担った参加企業に還元される設計で、発行・償還に手数料はかからない。稼働は2026年内後半を予定しており、発表当日にはUSDC発行元のCircleの株価が約16%下落した。参加企業にはPayPay、みずほフィナンシャルグループ、三井住友フィナンシャルグループ、楽天グループといった日本企業も含まれ、国内では三菱UFJ銀行など3行が円建てステーブルコインの共同発行を進める動きと対比される。
