i love competition and for the first time in a while
@tether and
@circle might have a real competitor if they play their cards right
iโm well aware of how difficult this is. competing with USDT and USDC is mostly a distribution game.
what i find most interesting is the revenue model; the companies backing OUSD will actually be able to earn from the underlying yield, giving them a direct financial incentive to integrate and promote it across their own products.
thatโs a pretty different dynamic from what weโve seen until very recently with the hyperliquid/circle deal
it wonโt be easy and they might even be underestimating how much work(and resources!!) this will take, but itโs definitely something iโll be keeping an eye on
