BitGo stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;USDS introduces a novel reward system that deploys up to 98% of earnings to participants who support the ecosystem. This approach ensures that all eligible institutions, exchanges, liquidity providers, and users are incentivized to support and grow the USDS network, fostering a more inclusive and balanced ecosystem.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This move would represent a significant shift in the stablecoin market, where issuers have been raking in millions of profits. <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/tokenterminal\/status\/1836192024388673621\">Data<\/a> from TokenTerminal shows that the two largest issuers in the sector<span aria-hidden=\"true\">\u2014<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/tether\/\">Tether<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/circle\/\">Circle<\/a><span aria-hidden=\"true\">\u2014<\/span>generate around $525 million in monthly profits. The two firms control around 90% of the $170 billion stablecoin industry.<\/p>\n<p>However, BitGo's USDS will challenge this dominance by distributing most of its rewards to network participants instead of concentrating the profits for itself.<\/p>\n<h2>Rising institutional interest<\/h2>\n<p>BitGo's move highlights the growing institutional interest in stablecoins.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past year, major financial giants like PayPal and <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/ripple\/\">Ripple<\/a> have ventured into this<a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/demand-for-stablecoins-grows-as-market-prepares-for-volatility\/\"> rapidly expanding sector. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Stablecoins are one of the most practical crypto applications in the real world, offering a stable alternative to volatile digital assets like Bitcoin.
