We at @FoundersFund are happy to share our investment into @ubyx_, which we believe is a critical piece of infrastructure for the stablecoin stack [more on why we invested below]
Two months ago, we released the Ubyx Whitepaper. Today, we announce a $10M seed round led by Galaxy Ventures, with participation from Coinbase Ventures, Founders Fund, VanEck, and industry stakeholders to deliver the global clearing system that will unlock stablecoin ubiquity.
As regulation solidifies (GENIUS stablecoin act coming to a final vote soon), many new US-based stablecoins have been launching (USDG, USDB, potentially Walmart/Amazon one, etc ...) — with only more to come.
With this influx of new stablecoins coming, a clearinghouse product becomes necessary to make these assets interoperable and able to be simply redeemed in the same way checks are.
The many-to-many problem, assuming there are 100s of regulated US stablecoins, is very real and there will need to be some sort of widely accepted, structured protocol to make them fungible with each other. Ubyx addresses the 'singleness of money' question around stablecoins.
Before starting Ubyx, Tony (@stablemaximus) spent 20 years at Citi heading up their emerging payments and business development arm, and has always been a stablecoin maxi.
We're proud to be backing Tony & the team at Ubyx as they build the infrastructure to make stablecoin acceptance universal. More here:
