Case Study Prioritizing Distribution: How Global Dollar Network scaled USDG to $3.1B in market cap by treating chain expansion as a business decision, not an engineering project How Global Dollar Network's choice of the OFT standard allowed it to focus on the growth and distribution of its asset, USDG
Global Dollar Network expanded USDG across six blockchains using LayerZero’s interoperability setup, and USDG reached a $3.1 billion market cap with more than $3.9 billion in cumulative cross-chain transfers. The OFT standard was presented as the mechanism that let Paxos keep control over security and regulatory compliance while broadening distribution.
What this rests on
What it means
Each sentence links inside to the piece that supports it.
Before this setup, adding more chains was described as a growth constraint for stablecoin issuers, while the OFT standard is presented as the way Global Dollar Network handled expansion as a business decision. In practice, that keeps the focus on distribution while Paxos retains control over security and regulatory compliance, rather than treating each new chain as a separate standalone product.
