## USDU Launches on Changer.ae

Universal Digital Intl Limited has announced the launch of its USD stablecoin, USDU, on the Changer.ae platform. Both entities are regulated by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) in Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM).

## Enhanced USD Settlement

This integration aims to streamline USD-denominated digital asset settlements in the UAE. USDU is pegged 1:1 to the US dollar and is fully backed by reserves held in onshore accounts with Emirates NBD and Mashreq.

Universal is authorized by the FSRA to issue fiat-referenced tokens and is registered with the Central Bank of the UAE as a Foreign Payment Token Issuer. Changer.ae is also FSRA-regulated, providing investment and custody services for virtual assets.

## Market Impact

The availability of USDU on a regulated platform supports trading and settlement processes for market participants. It marks a significant step in developing ADGM's digital asset infrastructure, offering a compliant pathway for USD liquidity in the virtual asset ecosystem.
