Open Standard launched in June with over 140 partners across payments, banking, crypto and technology, including BlackRock, BNY and Standard Chartered. Coinbase, Mastercard, Shopify, Stripe and Visa are the first five founding partners, each holding an equal initial equity stake, and together have committed more than $1 billion to build OUSD liquidity. Abrams rejects the consortium label, saying management runs the company while a small group of founding partners holds ownership and governance. The broader network is aligned through rewards tied to contributions to OUSD, which targets banking, cross-border payments, card settlement, trading and lending.
