Cointelegraph
New Frontier Labs partnered with BitGo to issue and custody the institutional-focused, GENIUS Act-compliant FYUSD stablecoin.

Summary

Digital asset company New Frontier Labs has selected BitGo Bank & Trust National Association to issue and provide custodial services for its new FYUSD stablecoin, a dollar-pegged token targeting institutional investors in Asia. The FYUSD stablecoin is designed to be compliant with the GENIUS Act regulatory framework, which mandates 1:1 backing with cash or short-term US government debt, along with AML and KYC requirements. Furthermore, BitGo developed "Fypher," an infrastructure suite that offers a programmable settlement layer for FYUSD, enabling its use by autonomous AI agents for commercial transactions. This development occurs while the overall stablecoin market capitalization stands above $295 billion, though Tether's USDT has recently seen significant monthly redemptions.
