Background
Today, Injective announces its integration with Mountain Protocol to bring the native availability of USDM, the first permissionless yield-bearing stablecoin, within the Injective ecosystem. Through this integration, users can participate in on-chain markets, such as BTC/wUSDM Perp and wUSDM/USDT spot market on Helix, the world’s premier decentralized exchange.
What Is Mountain Protocol and USDM?
Mountain Protocol is the issuer of USDM, the first permissionless yield-bearing stablecoin. Backed by Multicoin Capital, Coinbase Ventures, and Castle Island Ventures, Mountain Protocol launched in 2023 with the vision that stablecoin holders are the natural owners of the “risk free rate” through a secure, regulated, enterprise-grade product.
USDM is a stablecoin backed by treasury bills, providing a secure foundation. Unlike other stablecoins, USDM allows users to earn and retain daily interest on their holdings. Currently with USDM, users are able to receive a 5% interest on their principal. Users who hold USDM in their wallets will automatically receive their interest in their wallet through a process called rebasing.
