Stablecoins are gradually becoming a key component of the global financial system, especially in cross-border payments and decentralized finance, serving as a bridge between fiat currencies and crypto assets. In the stablecoin market, Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC) have long dominated, holding nearly 90% of the market share. However, Paxos has recently partnered with several fintech companies, including Anchorage Digital, Bullish, Galaxy Digital, Kraken, Nuvei, and Robinhood, to jointly launch a brand new stablecoin network—Global Dollar Network. This brings a fresh perspective to the currently highly concentrated stablecoin market. This article will analyze the impact of this network's launch on the Web3 industry and its significance for the global stablecoin market from the perspectives of compliance and innovation.

I. Background and Goals of the Global Dollar Network

The Global Dollar Network is an open network aimed at promoting the global adoption of stablecoins. The stablecoin launched this time is called USDG, issued by Paxos. A stablecoin is essentially a cryptocurrency pegged to traditional currencies (such as the US dollar), designed to avoid significant price fluctuations, thereby providing users with a stable means of value storage. The issuance of USDG complies with the upcoming stablecoin framework from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), which means it has relatively strict compliance guarantees, especially in aligning with international regulatory standards. The network's compliance and structural goals are to ensure that when opened to qualified participants, it helps enhance the security and transparency of transactions. Currently, the Global Dollar Network is committed to accelerating the application of stablecoins in cross-border payments and decentralized finance.

II. Partners and the Establishment of a Compliance Ecosystem

The Global Dollar Network is an open network driven by multi-party cooperation, aimed at accelerating the global application of stablecoins through compliance. The major participants collaborating with this network play different roles in the project, collectively ensuring its legal operation and the realization of technological innovation.

• Paxos is the core of the entire project, not only as the issuer of USDG (the stablecoin used in the Global Dollar Network) but also responsible for coordinating compliance and regulation. USDG complies with the MAS's stablecoin framework, laying a solid compliance foundation for its global promotion. As one of the global financial centers, Singapore's regulatory support also gives USDG a unique advantage in compliance.
• Anchorage Digital, as the custodian of digital assets, provides highly secure asset management services, ensuring the safety of participants' funds. The presence of custodians also enhances user trust in stablecoins, as it reduces the risk of fund loss and theft.
• The participation of well-known trading platforms like Robinhood and Kraken helps promote the circulation and adoption of USDG. Through these platforms, USDG can be accessed and used by a broader user base, which is crucial for a newly issued stablecoin.
• The inclusion of payment service providers like Nuvei and Bullish provides support for cross-border payments, ensuring that USDG can be used not only as an investment tool but also in everyday transactions.

This multi-party cooperation not only increases the diversity of participants but also adds various application scenarios for USDG, including cross-border payments, holding value accounts, and investment tools for digital assets.

III. Technology and Incentive Mechanisms of the Global Dollar Network

One of the key features of the Global Dollar Network is its incentive mechanism, designed to encourage more businesses and individuals to adopt USDG. The network's design allows participants to earn returns from reserve assets by holding USDG. Paxos designed this to encourage financial institutions, exchanges, and other participants to actively promote its application, similar to providing partners and users with a more stable and secure economic return model.

Paxos CEO Charles Cascarilla emphasized during the introduction of the project that this network aims to "rebuild the foundational platform of the financial system," providing businesses with a financial environment that can seamlessly integrate stablecoins. This "reward mechanism for all participants" not only enhances the enthusiasm of partners but also makes this stablecoin model more attractive, potentially drawing in a wider range of institutions and mainstream users.

IV. Current Open Phase and Future Plans

Currently, the Global Dollar Network is in an invitation-only open phase, meaning that only specific qualified participants can join. These qualified participants include custodians, payment processors, exchanges, merchants, and banks. The goal is to first establish a stable cooperative ecosystem to ensure that the initial adoption and circulation of the network and USDG are robust and compliant.

In the future, the Global Dollar Network plans to expand its partnerships to cover a broader range of application scenarios, such as payment processing, commercial payments, and decentralized financial products. DBS Bank (the largest bank in Southeast Asia) will also provide cash management and custody services for this project, indicating that this collaboration is not limited to the digital asset field but also includes support from traditional financial institutions.

V. Challenges and Market Prospects

Despite the strong cooperation and compliance support of the Global Dollar Network, it faces intense competition in the stablecoin market. The current stablecoin market is primarily dominated by Tether and USDC, both of which have established a deep user base and a wide range of application scenarios. Paxos and its partners must work hard to attract more users and apply USDG to more practical scenarios.

However, Paxos's diversified compliance measures, especially the implementation of regulations in Singapore, along with its collaboration with traditional financial institutions like DBS Bank, add weight to its success in the market. In the future, as compliance requirements increase and the demand for safer, more transparent stablecoins grows among businesses and individual users, the Global Dollar Network is expected to find its unique market positioning, particularly in cross-border payments and the integration of financial services.
