StableCoin

The on-chain issuance and redemption of USDPT are exclusively carried out by OCC-chartered Anchorage Digital Bank, N.A.: once a USD deposit is confirmed, SPL tokens are minted on Solana at a 1:1 rate; upon redemption, the on-chain tokens are burned and equivalent USD reserves are released; Western Union manages the distribution and cash-out network and does not serve as the issuer; USDPT is not insured by the FDIC or guaranteed by the U.S. government.

U.S. Dollar Payment Token (USDPT) is issued on the Solana blockchain by Anchorage Digital Bank, N.A., a federally chartered national trust bank in the United States. Each USDPT is backed by an equivalent amount of U.S. dollar reserves. Western Union manages the distribution of the Digital Asset Network and the global cash-out network, with plans to cover exchanges, cash-outs at Western Union agent locations, self-custody wallets paired with Visa cards, and remittance collection; USDPT is not insured by the FDIC or guaranteed by the U.S. government.

The key distinction between USDG and USDC/USDT lies in their stablecoin economics: with USDC and USDT, the reserve yield is mainly retained by the issuers Circle and Tether, meaning platforms that drive adoption rarely have a systematic way to share in those returns. In contrast, USDG operates within Paxos’ compliant issuance framework and, through the GDN, allocates up to approximately 97%–100% of its reserve yield to approved network partners, rather than letting a single issuer capture all the value.

The key distinction between USDG and Paxos-issued PYUSD and USDP lies in their regulatory jurisdictions and network models. USDG is issued by two entities—under Singapore's MAS and the EU's MiCA framework—and incorporates the Global Dollar Network (GDN) partner yield structure. In contrast, PYUSD and USDP are both issued by Paxos Trust Company under NYDFS regulation in New York State, designed for U.S. domestic payments and general stablecoin use cases, and are not integrated with the GDN network.

The core logic of Global Dollar Network (GDN) partner Rendite is to distribute the yield generated from USDG reserve assets to participants who drive network adoption, rather than retaining it solely with the issuer. The three roles—Hold, Mint, Accept—correspond to three contribution pathways: holding balances, minting increments, and accepting payments, respectively. Partners may participate independently or in combination, earning reserve Rendite shares and additional incentives according to their role.

The Global Dollar Network (GDN) is a USD stablecoin ecosystem launched by Paxos alongside multiple industry partners. Its primary circulating token is Global Dollar (USDG). By connecting issuers, platforms, and merchants, GDN redefines how stablecoin yield is distributed, driving the adoption of prudentially regulated stablecoins across payments, settlements, and on-chain use cases.

The core logic of USDG's minting and redemption process is "reserve first, then mint; burn first, then refund": Paxos only mints USDG on-chain after confirming that the equivalent amount in USD has been credited to a segregated reserve account. For redemptions, it first burns the on-chain tokens and then returns the USD. This two-way mechanism ensures the circulating supply always maintains a 1:1 ratio with the reserve balance.

Checker is a startup specializing in stablecoin infrastructure, primarily helping financial institutions quickly integrate stablecoin payments, liquidity management, and compliance services through a single API. As the global stablecoin market continues to expand, Checker seeks to reduce the technical and regulatory hurdles enterprises face when adopting blockchain-based financial services.

Stablecoin payments are quickly being integrated into the daily operations of corporations and financial institutions. However, the true challenge often lies not in the stablecoins themselves, but in the intricate compliance, liquidity, and fund management workflows that support them.

The rapid growth of the stablecoin market relies not only on issuers but also on extensive payment, compliance, and liquidity infrastructure. This article examines Checker's role in the stablecoin ecosystem and explains why enterprise-grade financial infrastructure is emerging as the core battleground for industry competition.

Ripple USD (RLUSD) is a dollar-backed stablecoin issued by Ripple. It is pegged to the U.S. dollar at a 1:1 ratio and deployed on both XRP Ledger (XRPL) and Ethereum. RLUSD is mainly used for cross-border payments, on-chain settlement, institutional fund transfers, and decentralized finance (DeFi) scenarios. Its goal is to provide a more stable digital settlement asset within Ripple’s payments ecosystem.

Ondo U.S. Dollar Yield (USDY) is a tokenized yield asset backed by short-term U.S. Treasury bonds and bank deposits, designed to bring U.S. dollar yields from traditional financial markets into the blockchain ecosystem. Unlike conventional stablecoins, which mainly fulfill payment and settlement roles, USDY generates yield by holding real-world assets (RWAs) and passes that yield through to the token's value.

USDY, USDT, and USDC all provide users with USD exposure, but they are fundamentally different types of on-chain assets. USDY is a yield-bearing USD asset backed by U.S. Treasury bonds and bank deposits, enabling holders to indirectly earn Treasury yields; USDT and USDC are payment stablecoins primarily used for trading, settlement, and value transfer, with the goal of maintaining a near 1:1 peg to the USD. The three exhibit clear distinctions in yield mechanism, underlying asset structure, price performance, regulatory framework, and DeFi application scenarios.

USDC is a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar, jointly launched by Circle and Coinbase, and governed by the Centre Consortium.
