This week, Agora filed its application for Agora National Trust Bank with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). We’ve been building toward this for a while.
Agora is currently operating in Bermuda with a full license. That regulatory foundation has allowed us to build, scale, and service customers globally. This next step is about opening the door to the US market under a unified federal framework.
Agora is beginning the wind down of AUSD issuance on the Injective network, effective April 3, 2026. AUSD on Injective remains redeemable at par through September 28, 2026.
While decentralized finance (DeFi) remains a key growth engine – Agora’s total value locked (TVL) grew 60% last month from DeFi launches, he said — his focus is shifting toward a longer-term bet: stablecoin-powered enterprise payments.
Money is changing. For millenia, we’ve built systems to move value (from shells to coinage to fiat, from tables to databases to APIs). Every era carried similar constraints: differing financial regimes, slow settlement, and intermediaries.
Now, value can move at the speed of light. Blockchains introduced open, global standards and instant settlement. As the onchain market has taken off, assets have struggled with interoperability between liquidity silos unable to move freely across the multi-chain world.
That changes today. Agora has adopted LayerZero’s OFT standard, to connect AUSD across all its deployments, starting with Monad. This upgrade enables Agora to turn what was once isolated liquidity silos, into a unified liquidity network.
Big news from the Web3 world! Find Satoshi Lab (FSL), the innovative force behind popular applications like Stepn, MOOAR, and Gas Hero, is expanding its financial infrastructure. They’ve just announced the launch of a brand-new digital asset: the FSL stablecoin, officially named GGUSD.
This isn’t just any stablecoin. GGUSD is designed to offer stability and reliability by being pegged to the U.S. dollar and crucially, backed by U.S. Treasuries. This strategic move aims to provide users within the growing FSL ecosystem with a dependable medium of exchange and store of value. The launch is a collaborative effort with Agora, a governance platform known for its expertise in stablecoin architecture.
Agora is the all-in-one platform for stablecoins and money movement. We're leading evangelizers on a global stage.
