Hong Kong-based OSL Group has announced the upcoming launch of USDGO, a U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin set to launch by the first quarter of 2026. The coin will be issued under U.S. federal oversight by Anchorage Digital, a federally regulated crypto bank.

USDGO to Strengthen Global Payment Infrastructure
According to a release by PR Newswire, USDGO will serve as the cornerstone of OSL Group’s global payment infrastructure. It aims to provide a safe and reliable instrument for cross-border payments and settlements. Additionally, it will offer a trusted vehicle for cryptocurrency allocation through OSL’s global trading platforms and payment gateways.
Kevin Cui, CEO of OSL Group, highlighted the significance of USDGO in advancing their payments strategy. “USDGO demonstrates OSL Group’s commitment to the strategic advancement in the payments sector, upholding global regulatory and security standards for operational reliability,” Cui said. The stablecoin will reduce transaction costs, improve treasury management, and optimize liquidity, bridging the gap between fiat and digital assets.
Anchorage Digital to Issue USDGO Under U.S. Bank-Level Oversight
Anchorage Digital, the first and only federally regulated crypto bank in the United States, will be responsible for issuing USDGO. Nathan McCauley, CEO of Anchorage Digital, expressed his confidence in the collaboration. “Issuing USDGO from within Anchorage Digital Bank brings U.S. bank-level oversight to a global stablecoin, giving institutions the regulatory clarity and operational security they need,” McCauley said. This partnership ensures the stablecoin meets the strictest regulatory and compliance standards for institutional use.
USDGO will adopt a multi-chain strategy, ensuring its accessibility and interoperability across leading blockchain ecosystems. The first public blockchain to deploy USDGO will be Solana, with more blockchain integrations planned for the future. This approach allows users to transact on their preferred networks while maintaining consistent security and regulatory standards.
USDGO will meet the rigorous standards of the GENIUS Act, which sets forth guidelines for stablecoin regulation in the United States. It will be backed 1:1 by high-quality liquid assets, including U.S. Treasuries. OSL Group will act as the branding partner, while Anchorage Digital handles the issuance. In Hong Kong, USDGO will be distributed exclusively through OSL Digital Securities Limited, which is the first licensed virtual asset trading platform operator in the region.
