FDUSD is a 1:1 USD-backed stablecoin with deep liquidity and velocity. It is fully backed by cash and cash equivalents, held in fully segregated holding structures, offering users a trusted tool for payments, trading, and DeFi applications. Reserves are safeguarded by a top-tier, qualified custodian with a trust license for seamless asset protection and regulatory compliance, with independent attestation reports published monthly.

This strategic partnership is poised to increase the proliferation of FDUSD® within the crypto ecosystem and beyond, capitalizing on the rising demand for fast, reliable, and cost-effective digital payment solutions. This collaboration makes BVNK one of the first business payment platforms to integrate FDUSD, one of the most rapidly growing stablecoins globally, unlocking new opportunities for businesses looking to explore stablecoin use cases, and enhancing global payment and trading capabilities for institutional and professional investors.

Within just four months of launching FDUSD, the token achieved a market cap exceeding $1 billion and became the #2 most traded stablecoin on centralized exchanges, with a highest single-day trading volume of over $23 billion.

By integrating FDUSD into BVNK’s multi-token, multi-blockchain platform, businesses will gain access to a scalable solution for payments, trading, and settlements, enabling them to explore new use cases while enhancing speed, reliability, and cost-efficiency in their financial operations.

FDUSD was built to provide a fluid, dependable, universal digital dollar tailored for this fast-moving market. Partnering with BVNK ensures businesses around the globe have the tools they need to unlock new efficiencies in a digital-first economy.”
