OpenUSD's stablecoin officially launched Tuesday with backing from more than 140 companies, including Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, Shopify and Coinbase. The project is pitching zero-fee minting and redemptions, along with shared reserve yield.
The rollout is intensifying competitive pressure on Circle's USDC, raising concerns about potential erosion in market share and stress on its monetization model. Circle Internet Group (NYSE: CRCL) fell 16.3% on the day to $63.57, setting a year-to-date low. The stock also flashed a technical "death cross" signal.
USDC's market capitalization has retreated to $73.7 billion from an earlier 2026 peak of $80.0 billion.
