Paxos Labs has launched USDG0, an omnichain extension of its regulated dollar-backed stablecoin USDG, designed to bring fully collateralized U.S. dollar liquidity to additional blockchain ecosystems. The company announced the initiative on Nov. 18 through a series of posts on X, calling it “the next evolution of stablecoin infrastructure.”
Developed by Paxos Labs and powered by LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard, USDG0 introduces a regulated stablecoin framework that moves seamlessly across chains without creating wrapped assets or fragmented liquidity pools. The project is part of Paxos’ broader mission to make trusted, compliant digital dollars interoperable across decentralized finance (DeFi) networks.
“Announcing USDG0: the next evolution of stablecoin infrastructure,” Paxos wrote on X. “Developed by Paxos Labs and powered by @LayerZero_Core, USDG0 brings the @global_dollar (USDG) to every ecosystem starting with @HyperliquidX, @PlumeNetwork, and @Aptos.”
Expanding USDG’s reach through new DeFi ecosystems
The company said that USDG0 extends the reach of USDG, a 1:1 U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin issued by Paxos and governed by the Global Dollar Network (GDN). Unlike synthetic or algorithmic stablecoins, USDG is fully backed by U.S. dollars held in regulated financial institutions and is already live on Ethereum, Solana, Ink, and X Layer.
By integrating LayerZero’s OFT standard, USDG0 operates as a single native asset across blockchains, retaining the same regulatory oversight and institutional-grade collateralization as USDG.
“Now with USDG0, that same institutional-grade stability is coming to new DeFi ecosystems,” Paxos said.

Built on LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard, USDG0 enables seamless movement of the Global Dollar across any network safely and compliantly.
The initial rollout begins with Hyperliquid, Plume, and Aptos, each offering distinct use cases for USDG0’s capabilities.
- On HyperliquidX, USDG0 will deliver “deep liquidity and yield-aligned trading across HyperEVM and HIP-3 markets,” powering yield generation on Liquid Bank and incentive-aligned lending platforms such as HypurrFi.
- On Plume Network, USDG0 brings “fully-backed stablecoin liquidity to modular on-chain finance, enabling next-gen DeFi and tokenized yield.”
- On Aptos, USDG0 integrates Paxos’ enterprise-grade stablecoin infrastructure into a high-performance Layer-1 blockchain, with both foundations planning to grow USDG0 adoption through partnerships, treasury allocation, and incentives.
Across these ecosystems, USDG0 allows apps and protocols to embed stablecoin liquidity, earn yields aligned with U.S. Treasury benchmarks, and transfer compliant value across chains without friction. Paxos described the project as a milestone showing “how regulated infrastructure meets the composability of DeFi and how trusted money becomes truly borderless.”
Aligning stability, compliance, and composability
Paxos emphasized that USDG0 gives network partners a direct way to participate in the economic upside of the stablecoin layer.
“It allows network partners to participate in the economic upside of stablecoins directly on their platforms, aligning growth, yield, and trust,” the company wrote.
This model aligns with Paxos’ long-standing approach of combining regulatory oversight with blockchain-native innovation. Since 2018, Paxos has recorded over $180 billion in tokenization activity under the supervision of global regulators. It currently operates three regulated stablecoins: USDP, PayPal USD (PYUSD), and USDG.
USDG is available on Solana, Ethereum, Ink, and X Layer, fully backed 1:1 by U.S. dollars held in regulated financial institutions.

Since 2018, Paxos has over $180B in tokenization activity under oversight from leading global regulators.
Built on LayerZero’s cross-chain framework, USDG0 aims to improve capital efficiency across multiple DeFi environments by eliminating the need for wrapped stablecoin versions, which often fragment liquidity and reduce security. The unified design allows traders, developers, and institutions to use the same trusted stablecoin on any integrated blockchain.
A step forward for regulated DeFi interoperability
The launch of USDG0 comes amid a global push for greater stablecoin standardization and regulatory clarity. In the United States, legislation such as the GENIUS Act, and in Europe, the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, have accelerated institutional participation in the stablecoin market.
Paxos’ approach positions USDG0 as a solution for compliant cross-chain finance, offering both transparency and efficiency at a time when the DeFi ecosystem is expanding across dozens of independent chains. By merging regulated backing with on-chain interoperability, the company seeks to transform how fiat liquidity moves in decentralized markets.
In Paxos’ words:
“This is how regulated infrastructure meets the composability of DeFi and how trusted money becomes truly borderless. Welcome to the Global Dollar in motion.”
