Bridge’s Open Issuance platform lets you launch your own, branded fully-backed stablecoin you control. Bridge handles reserve management, compliance, and infrastructure, making the process easy for you.

​
Why Issue Your Own Stablecoin with Bridge?

When you launch your own custom stablecoin through Bridge, you own your product experience and brand, without needing to build infrastructure from scratch. You can also control the reserves that back your stablecoin and earn rewards.   Key Benefits of Issuing Your Own Stablecoin with Bridge:
  • Control your product experience: Customize your stablecoin, including supported blockchains, open-loop or closed loop, reserve allocation, smart contracts, identity, and branding.
  • Grow ecosystem loyalty: Use your stablecoin to build incentives, deepening end-user engagement and retention (like successful loyalty programs).
  • Earn Rewards: Generate revenue from treasury reserves backing your stablecoin. When Bridge issues your stablecoin, Bridge shares all revenue (minus issuance fees) with you.
  • Compliance out of the box: We maintain regulatory licenses so your stablecoin is GENIUS-ready and compliant with other emerging laws.  
  • Instant access to all of Bridge’s product features: Issuing with Bridge immediately makes your stablecoin available across Bridge’s products, including Orchestration APIs for on/off-ramps, Cards, and interoperability with other Bridge-issued stablecoins.
Open Issuance vs Open USD (OUSD) vs USDB Open USD (OUSD), an open-loop stablecoin issued by Open Standard, and USDB, Bridge’s closed-loop stablecoin, also enable you to earn rewards on reserves, but offer a more off the shelf approach. A detailed comparison of these different options is available here.

Bridge Makes It Easy to Manage the Entire Stablecoin Stack 

Bridge simplifies stablecoin issuance by managing all complex infrastructure (such as payment rails, smart contracts, reserves, and banking integrations) through a single unified platform.

​
Orchestration (Onramps and Offramps)

Bridge’s orchestration network enables seamless conversion between fiat currencies (USD, EUR, MXN, BRL, GBP), your stablecoin, and other digital assets.  Learn more about Orchestration →

​
Minting and Burning

Bridge manages the complete token lifecycle including minting (creating new stablecoins backed 1:1 by cash and US treasuries) and burning (redeeming stablecoins for fiat or other assets). All operations are executed through simple API calls with built-in compliance controls including capabilities required under regulations like the GENIUS Act. Learn more about Minting and Burning →

​
Reserve Configuration and Treasury Management

Bridge invests your backing reserves in cash and treasuries through premier partners including BlackRock, Fidelity, and Superstate. You control the allocation between liquid cash (for instant redemptions) and treasuries (for reward generation), with flexible adjustments available anytime via API. Learn more about Reserves →

​
Rewards

A significant benefit of issuing your own stablecoin is the ability to capture treasury rewards, which are typically retained entirely by existing third-party issuers. Bridge shares the majority of rewards generated from your reserves directly with you.  Learn more about Rewards →
