Mantle Joins Global Dollar Network with Native USDG Stablecoin Integration

Quick Summary

Mantle has integrated the USDG stablecoin, a regulated dollar-pegged asset issued by Paxos, as a native network token. By joining the Global Dollar Network (GDN), Mantle enables a reward-sharing economic model for its partners while scaling institutional-grade real-world asset tokenization for global market participants.

How Does Mantle Benefit from the Global Dollar Network?

Mantle joins GDN as a Network Partner, a move that fundamentally shifts the economics of stablecoin adoption. Unlike traditional models where issuers retain all revenue, this reward-sharing structure allows Mantle to participate in the economic upside alongside 150+ global partners like Robinhood and Kraken. This integration ensures that the USDG stablecoin serves as a foundational settlement asset for the network's growing ecosystem.

• 150+ global partners currently participate in the Global Dollar Network.
• $3.5 billion circulation reached by USDG, making it a top regulated stablecoin.
• Dual regulatory oversight via Singapore’s MAS and the EU’s MiCA framework.

By aligning with a regulated economic system, Mantle provides its builders with a trusted asset that incentivizes long-term network growth and liquidity provision.

What Makes USDG an Institutional-Grade Stablecoin?

Institutional capital requires high levels of transparency and regulatory compliance, which the USDG stablecoin delivers through its partnership with Paxos. As one of the few assets compliant with both MAS and MiCA, USDG offers the legal certainty needed for large-scale capital allocation. This compliance layer is essential for Mantle’s mission to provide borderless financial access to traditional market participants.

• Monthly reserve reports are published by Paxos to ensure full transparency.
• Native minting capabilities on Mantle reduce friction for institutional users.
• Institutional-grade backing ensures USDG remains a reliable dollar-pegged anchor.

This integration of the USDG stablecoin ensures that Mantle’s DeFi utilities and capital allocation tools operate on a secure regulatory foundation.

How is Mantle Scaling its Real-World Asset Ecosystem?

Real-world asset (RWA) growth on Mantle has been explosive, with TVL in this sector jumping from $22 million to $240 million annually. The addition of USDG strengthens a stack that already includes AUSD, USDe, USDY, and USDT0. This concentration of institutional RWA capital positions Mantle as a leading destination for tokenized equities, treasuries, and commodities.

• $982 million TVL currently held in stablecoins across the Mantle network.
• 700+ tokenized assets now live, including ETFs and private credit.
• Community-owned treasury provides deep liquidity to support on-chain finance.

By hosting the USDG stablecoin natively, Mantle streamlines the distribution and settlement of complex financial products for a global audience.

"Alongside Bybit, one of our closest partners, Mantle has spent the last year building towards powering borderless access to RWA, and an institutional-grade stablecoin stack has been a core part of that: AUSD, USDe, USDY, and USDT0, each one bringing us closer to a network where global market participants can reach institutional-grade assets across the ecosystem," said Emily Bao, Key Advisor at Mantle and Head of Spot at Bybit. "Joining Global Dollar Network and bringing USDG onto Mantle puts us inside a more active economic system. Our builders and partners now have a settlement asset they can trust as we bring more of the world's financial products onto the network."

"Mantle is building the rails that bring traditional financial assets on-chain, and that future runs on regulated dollars. Native USDG issuance puts one at the center of the ecosystem, and as a Global Dollar Network partner, Mantle shares in the upside it helps create," said Walter Hessert, Head of Strategy at Paxos.

FF NEWS TAKE:

The native integration of the USDG stablecoin on Mantle is a significant milestone that moves the needle for institutional DeFi. By opting for a reward-sharing network rather than a siloed issuance model, Mantle is proving that the future of stablecoins lies in collaborative economic ecosystems. With RWA TVL up over 1,000% in a year, Mantle is successfully bridging the gap between traditional finance and blockchain.
