Bottom Line
Open USD is a coalition play: 140+ fintech, banking, tech, and crypto firms building a stablecoin that shares yield with users. No fees to mint/redeem + shared governance = a direct challenge to single-issuer models like USDC/USDT. Tempo is the first native network, with a late-2026 launch target.
