Paxos and LayerZero Launch USDG0 to Bring Regulated Stablecoin to DeFi Ecosystems

Companies mentioned:

Quick Take
  • Paxos Labs and LayerZero have introduced USDG0, a new stablecoin infrastructure to extend the reach of the regulated Global Dollar (USDG).
  • Built on LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard, USDG0 enables the seamless transfer of USDG across different blockchain networks.
  • The initial rollout includes integrations with DeFi derivatives exchange Hyperliquid, RWA platform Plume Network, and the Aptos blockchain.

Paxos Labs, in partnership with LayerZero, has announced the launch of USDG0, an infrastructure designed to extend the reach of its regulated stablecoin, the Global Dollar (USDG). This initiative aims to bridge institutional-grade stability with the composable nature of decentralized finance (DeFi).

USDG0 is built on LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard, which enables USDG to move seamlessly across multiple blockchain ecosystems. This expansion allows network partners to integrate a compliant stablecoin and participate in the economic model, which includes earning yield aligned with Treasury benchmarks. Since 2018, Paxos has overseen over $180 billion in tokenization activity.

The initial rollout targets three distinct platforms. On the Hyperliquid decentralized exchange, USDG0 will provide liquidity and yield-aligned trading. For Plume Network, a modular platform for real-world assets (RWAs), USDG0 will supply fully-backed stablecoin liquidity. The integration with the Aptos blockchain brings Paxos’s enterprise-grade stablecoin capabilities to the high-performance Layer 1.

This strategic expansion signals a push to embed regulated, compliant stablecoins directly within the core of emerging DeFi protocols. By allowing protocols to integrate USDG0, Paxos and LayerZero are creating a framework for networks to benefit directly from the stablecoin's economic activity, combining regulatory oversight with DeFi's open architecture.
