NOW STREAMING: Stableminded S5 E1

Season 5 explores and is powered by Global Dollar Network (GDN), an open network that rewards enterprises who help grow adoption for $USDG, a regulated stablecoin. Unlike legacy models where issuers keep all yield, GDN shares rewards with partners based on network contribution.

Key Takeaways for Global Dollar Network:

• Partners include world's leading enterprises: Robinhood, Kraken, OKX, Paxos

• USDG issued by Paxos Digital Singapore (Major Payments Institution supervised by MAS) and Paxos Issuance Europe (FIN FSA supervised, MiCA compliant)

• ~$300m market cap (up 50% since beginning of 2025)
