From Hydra Halt to Stablecoins

From Hydra Halt to Stablecoins

Cardano launched USDM, the first 1:1 fully fiat-backed stablecoin. The new entrant aims to gain a foothold in the highly competitive $146 billion stablecoin market, mainly dominated by giants Tether and Circle.

This launch is an important moment for Cardano, especially after it has been struggling with delays in delivering its much-anticipated layer 2 solution, Hydra.

Cardano’s New Stablecoin Despite Hydra Delay

USDM’s architect, Mehen Finance, originally planned a launch in early 2023. However, the roadmap suffered a serious setback when a cryptocurrency-friendly bank unexpectedly closed. This disruption in the banking sector and the loss of our banking partner, Cross River to Circle, led to unexpected delays in USDM distribution.

Matthew Plomin, founding partner of Mehen, has openly discussed the difficult journey. He highlighted key moments that led to a realignment of strategy. In particular, Plomin spoke about the banking crisis and the switch to Plaid to mint and burn US dollars for USDM.

The introduction of stablecoins provides Cardano users with a new alternative. Based on its algorithm and synthesis model, it differentiates itself from other Cardano-based stablecoins such as DJED and iUSD. This represents an important milestone for decentralized finance (DeFi) on blockchain. Enthusiasts like Jaromir Tesar recognize its potential to improve the ecosystem.

“Cardano has the first USD-backed stablecoin, Mehen USDM. This is an important milestone for DeFi on Cardano,” said Tesar.

This strategic move by Cardano to embrace USDM amid the ongoing development of Hydra reflects its resilient and adaptable approach. Cardano co-founder Charles Hoskinson refuted rumors that the company is abandoning Hydra, highlighting the community’s efforts to improve the scalability and efficiency of the blockchain.

“I’m watching a video claiming that Hydra has been abandoned. It’s just pure FUD. The team was more productive and motivated than ever. There is great community engagement and new papers underway to improve the protocol,” explained Hoskinson.
