United Stables Launches Stablecoin $U on BNB Chain

Today, BNB Chain announced the launch of the new stablecoin $U from United Stables, which becomes the first native stablecoin on this network with a unique reserve model that includes other stablecoins. This move is aimed at solving the problem of fragmented liquidity in DeFi and on-chain finance, combining existing assets into a single liquidity layer.

According to the official announcement, $U is backed 1:1 by USD-based stablecoins such as USDT, USDC, and FDUSD (which is sometimes referred to as USD1). Users can mint $U using these assets as collateral, allowing for the consolidation of liquidity without competing for it. This sets $U apart from traditional stablecoins, making it a tool for enhancing the efficiency of trading, payments, and automated operations.

The launch occurred not only on BNB Chain but also on Ethereum, making $U a multi-chain asset from the start. This provides broader compatibility and accessibility for institutional traders, DeFi users, and cross-border payments. The volume of stablecoins on BNB Chain has already doubled in 2025 to about $14 billion, and $U is expected to strengthen this trend, making the network a leader in the number of active addresses and transactions.

One of the key features is support for EIP-3009 for gasless transactions based on signatures, and in the future - x402 for delegated execution, which is ideal for AI agents, autonomous trading systems, and machine-to-machine payments. Additionally, $U is integrated into the BNB Chain 0 Carnival Fee program, which will allow transactions without network fees, as promised in the initial information. This will lower barriers for mass adoption, especially in automated finance.

The community's reaction on X has been positive. The official BNB Chain account shared:

"$U by @UTechStables is now live on BNB Chain. As a first-of-its-kind stablecoin, $U unifies all major stablecoins into a single liquidity layer across..."

Other users, like @ImCryptOpus, noted:

"United Stables launches $U as a native stablecoin on $BNB Chain", emphasizing the potential for liquidity growth.

Trust Wallet has also already added support for $U as a BEP-20 token, which will facilitate integration for mobile users.

Experts believe that $U could become a catalyst for the further development of BNB Chain, especially in the context of the growing stablecoin ecosystem.

"By leveraging BNB Chain’s high throughput, low transaction costs, and growing ecosystem, $U creates a more efficient foundation for both human and machine-driven finance", quoted in the official blog.

Against the backdrop of other news in the stablecoin sector, such as the launch of USDtb from Ethena backed by BlackRock or USDD on BNB Chain, $U stands out with its focus on unification rather than competition. This could attract institutional capital and strengthen BNB Chain's position in the market.
