New Frontier Labs partners with BitGo to launch FYUSD stablecoin in Asia

New Frontier Labs Digital Asset Company has partnered with BitGo Bank & Trust National Association, a subsidiary of BitGo, to issue and provide custody services for FYUSD stablecoin – a USD-pegged token for institutional investors in Asia. FYUSD complies with the GENIUS Act legal framework, requiring 1:1 backing with cash or short-term US government bonds, along with strict AML and KYC standards.

BitGo has also developed the “Fypher” toolkit, offering a programmable payment layer for FYUSD, enabling AI agents to automatically execute commercial transactions. US Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent stated that stablecoins help strengthen the USD’s position by reducing payment times and costs.

The total market capitalization of stablecoins is currently around $295 billion, down from over $300 billion in December’s peak. Tether has reported a significant decrease in USDT supply, reflecting a short-term buyback trend rather than a long-term market decline.
