Bitcoin.com announced it will integrate the UAE‑registered USDU stablecoin into its self‑custodial web and mobile wallet, enabling users to hold, send and receive the token. Universal Digital, the issuer of USDU, launched the token in January under the UAE Central Bank’s Payment Token Services Regulation, which designates it as the first foreign payment token registered in the country. The integration allows the stablecoin to be used immediately for holding and transfers, while swap and buy‑sell functions are expected later through third‑party providers. Bitcoin.com said it will accept USDU for designated services and work toward enabling payments between users and merchants across its products, with availability varying by jurisdiction. Zodia Custody added support for USDU in July for institutional clients, and a USDT‑USDU liquidity pool launched on Uniswap in August, expanding the token’s decentralized liquidity. The move follows a broader distribution effort for USDU, though the regulatory framework limits digital asset payments to fiat or registered foreign payment tokens. The integration may increase USDU’s accessibility beyond institutional channels, but the extent of its adoption will depend on jurisdictional approvals.
