Paxos Labs has unveiled USDG0, an omnichain extension of its Global Dollar (USDG) stablecoin, in partnership with the LayerZero interoperability protocol. Announced recently, USDG0 represents a key leap in stablecoin infrastructure by enabling cross-chain movement of fully backed dollar liquidity to multiple blockchains (reportedly) without the risks of traditional bridges or wrapped tokens.
Announcing USDG0: the next evolution of stablecoin infrastructure.
Developed by Paxos Labs and powered by @LayerZero_Core, USDG0 brings the @global_dollar (USDG) to every ecosystem starting with @HyperliquidX, @PlumeNetwork, and @Aptos. 🧵 pic.twitter.com/PDsJUaQ5Kf

USDG, the base asset, is a 1:1 USD-backed stablecoin issued by Paxos under regulatory oversight, already operational on Ethereum, Solana, Ink, and X Layer.
USDG0 builds on this foundation but introduces LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard, allowing USDG to exist as a single native asset across ecosystems while preserving regulatory compliance and 1:1 backing.
When users transfer USDG to a new chain, an equivalent amount of USDG is locked in audited contracts, ensuring every USDG0 remains fully reserved and compliant.
The initial rollout targets three diverse ecosystems:
- Hyperliquid — for perpetuals trading and lending markets.
- Plume Network — for RWAfi (real-world asset finance).
- Aptos — marking the first Move-based deployment of LayerZero OFT.
This launch is significant for Plume’s RWA focus and Aptos’ architecture, signaling institutional appetite for regulated liquidity in emerging DeFi verticals.USDG0 eliminates wrapped versions and fragmented liquidity pools, reducing bridge exploits that have cost billions in DeFi.
USDG0 uses LayerZero’s OFT standard, already proven with other assets.
Paxos provides a USDG0 Portal for instant cross-chain swaps and low-fee large transfers, making it appealing for institutions and DeFi natives alike.
The broader implication is potentially significant: USDG0 demonstrates how regulated infrastructure can meet DeFi composability, enabling yield-bearing stablecoins that compound Treasury-backed yields while remaining fully compliant.
Paxos built the rails that DeFi and digital assets ecosystem participants will end up using—again.
Paxos has tokenized over $180 billion since 2018, making it one of the active issuers behind USDP and PYUSD.
USDG0 is the next. This is the ongoing evolution in digital assets and web3: regulated dollar liquidity that actually moves like money should—faster, borderless, and compliant.
