Original Link: A leading exchange announced the launch of AUSD, a digital dollar developed by Agora, a fintech company specializing in digital payment solutions. The asset has a market capitalization of over 200 million dollars and is 100% backed by the company's dollar reserves, which consist of short-term U.S. Treasury securities, repurchase agreements, and cash.

AUSD operates on 15 blockchains, including Ethereum, Avalanche, Polygon, Sui, Solana, and others. In addition to adhering to the ERC-20 standard, it also ensures reliability, compatibility, and smooth integration of assets in secure and real-time financial operations.

The listing of this asset on a leading exchange meets the growing demand among Brazilians for collateralized digital currencies. According to a report by Chainalysis, over 90% of Brazil's crypto asset flows involve stablecoins. The Vice President of Crypto Affairs at a leading exchange emphasized that Brazil being recognized as the “driving force of the crypto economy in Latin America” is no coincidence.

“The market is beginning to recognize the importance of digital currencies, and AUSD is one of the noteworthy projects. Agora's commitment to this category aligns perfectly with our vision, as we have already launched a stablecoin supported by euros and yen,” the executive explained.

In July 2025, Agora announced a $50 million Series A financing led by Paradigm and participated by Dragonfly, which strengthened market confidence in the project's institutional infrastructure proposal.

The difference between this digital currency and other stablecoins lies in its institutional standards, true neutrality, and the sharing of most of its revenue with enterprises. Currently, Agora focuses on becoming an excellent partner for enterprises and crypto protocols, fintech companies, and banks that want to leverage the potential of stablecoins.

“The growth of AUSD and Agora's expansion in Brazil reflects the rapid consolidation of stablecoins as a fundamental part of global financial infrastructure. The country plays a core role in the company's global expansion and is one of the major centers for consumer-led adoption and enterprise-led innovation,” commented Agora's head for Latin America. “We are excited to collaborate with a leading exchange and the Brazilian ecosystem,” he added.

AUSD has now been added to the investment portfolio of over 800 digital assets on a leading exchange and is available for trading on the platform.
