Circle Stock Dives as Coinbase, BlackRock and Visa Back Open USD Stablecoin
Circle (CRCL) stock plunged almost 16% after Coinbase, BlackRock, Visa, and over 140 other companies launched Open USD (OUSD), a new stablecoin. Open USD aims to create a shared, neutral digital payments infrastructure with lower fees, partner-controlled reserve earnings, and governance by a board of partner companies, addressing common stablecoin industry complaints. This new initiative is perceived as a significant challenge to existing stablecoin issuers like Circle.
