Mantle has added Paxos-issued USDG as a natively minted stablecoin while joining the network’s reward-sharing structure. Paxos-issued stablecoin USDG has launched natively on Mantle, with the Ethereum layer-2 network joining the Global Dollar Network as a partner, according to a Thursday announcement. The integration makes USDG one of the first stablecoins to be natively minted on Mantle and brings the network into USDG’s reward-sharing structure. As a partner, Mantle can receive a share of the rewards generated by USDG activity, joining a network of more than 150 partners, including Kraken and Robinhood. USDG has a market capitalization of about $3.18 billion, making it the seventh-largest stablecoin tracked by DefiLlama.
