Brale has launched USDB, the first native U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin on the Bitcoin network. The stablecoin is issued on Spark, a layer-2 network for Bitcoin built by Lightspark, and aims to bring native dollar liquidity to the ecosystem.
USDB is fully backed on a 1:1 basis by U.S. Treasuries, with reserves held by the regulated financial institution Brale. This structure is designed to offer a compliant and secure stablecoin for Bitcoin DeFi applications. The launch eliminates the need for cross-chain bridges, which can introduce security risks.
The stablecoin is also set to integrate with the NFT marketplace Magic Eden, signaling a move to support the growing digital asset ecosystem on Bitcoin. This development is part of a broader trend of expanding stablecoin infrastructure to new blockchain networks.
