Aleo and Paxos introduce USAD to combine privacy, programmability, and compliance in stablecoin payments.

Privacy-focused Layer 1 network Aleo is rolling out a native stablecoin through a partnership with Paxos Labs. The move signals rising demand for privacy tools built into blockchain infrastructure. Businesses are seeking digital assets that protect sensitive data while meeting oversight standards. With this in mind, USAD aims to serve that need on a zero-knowledge-powered chain.

Aleo Targets Institutional Privacy Demand With Launch

Aleo confirmed plans to issue USAD using Paxos’ issuance infrastructure. Under the system, the stablecoin will run natively on Aleo’s zero-knowledge network, which keeps transaction details private by default. 

Essentially, participant identities, wallet addresses, and transaction amounts will remain hidden from public view. At the same time, auditability will be preserved.

Paxos Labs co-founder Bhau Kotecha said the partnership brings digital dollars into an environment where privacy and programmability are built in from day one. He added that more firms may create custom digital assets tied to their platforms as stablecoins expand across traditional payment rails.

“as stablecoins continue to impact traditional financial rails, we anticipate more organizations will look to deploy their own custom assets that provide additional value to their platforms, something that Aleo and its team are already ahead of the curve on,”

Kotecha noted.

USAD is designed for common stablecoin uses such as payments and transfers. The team also pointed to programmable features that are difficult to support on fully transparent blockchains. Applications listed include discreet payroll, B2B payments, and private decentralized finance activity.

USAD Rollout Signals Growing Demand for Private Blockchain Payments

Aleo COO Leena Im said structure meets oversight requirements. He added that it also protects sensitive user information. Paxos’ infrastructure, already used for stablecoins tied to PayPal and formerly Binance, supports issuance and compliance processes.

Interest in privacy on Aleo extends beyond Paxos. Rival issuer Circle recently piloted a privacy-focused version of USDC on Aleo called USDCx. The launch of USAD places Aleo among Layer 1 networks targeting institutional-grade privacy in digital payments.

BitGo, a digital asset infrastructure company with more than $100 billion in assets under custody, has received an extension of its license from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), enabling it to offer crypto services to European investors. The company said its local subsidiary, BitGo Europe, can now provide custody, staking, transfer, and trading services. Institutional clients will also have access to an over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk and multiple liquidity venues.The extension builds on BitGo’s previous Markets-in-Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license, also issued by BaFIN, and adds trading to the existing custody, transfer and staking services. BitGo acquired its initial MiCA license in May 2025, which allowed it to offer certain services to traditional institutions and crypto native companies in the European Union.Read more
