Open Standard launched Open USD on Sept. 30 and said businesses can begin using it through several payment and crypto rails, with Coinbase access set for Oct. 1. The rollout also places Stripe in a default stablecoin role for Tempo and names multiple distribution paths, while Chainlink is part of the setup and launch liquidity was listed above $1 billion.

What it means

Businesses that want to use Open USD will notice the rollout through Stripe, BVNK, Visa and, starting Oct. 1, Coinbase access. That matters today because the token is already live and already being opened to business users through those channels.

The practical setup now includes Stripe calling Open USD its default stablecoin configuration on Tempo, while Mastercard’s route runs through BVNK and Visa’s access is limited beta. What changes is the set of routes and access states attached to the token; what stays the same is that the launch is still being distributed through named partners rather than a single open gateway.
