Mantle has added the Paxos-issued USDG stablecoin as a natively minted asset on its network, while also joining the Global Dollar Network with a rewards-sharing model.

What Happened

Mantle’s ecosystem now supports USDG as a native coin—minted directly on-chain, no bridges or wrapped tokens needed. At the same time, Mantle has joined the Global Dollar Network, plugging into its rewards-sharing structure. This update directly impacts both USDG and MNT.

Why This Matters for the Ecosystem

Native minting means less friction for apps and users: easier payments, listings, and liquidity management within Mantle. By joining the Global Dollar Network’s rewards model, Mantle opens up new incentive mechanisms for ecosystem participants, which could speed up service integrations and boost USDG volume across DeFi apps on Mantle.

What This Changes for Users and Projects

Developers and traders get another native stablecoin option for payments, quoting, and DeFi settlements on Mantle. For the network, this is a step toward more predictable, seamless stablecoin operations. Plus, joining the Global Dollar Network adds coordinated rewards with partners—no extra wrapping or complicated asset transfers needed.
