Stablecoin governance group behind OUSD sets out management fee, offers equity earning pool

Open Standard, the governance group behind the OUSD stablecoin, introduced a 0.1 basis point management fee on payment volume capped at $0.01 per payment and opened an equity-earning pool for participants. The fee structure ties protocol revenue directly to payment throughput rather than to token supply or yield generation. OUSD is issued by Origin Protocol, and the change shifts the stablecoin's economics toward transaction-based income. The equity pool gives contributors a claim on fee revenue, aligning governance participants with payment adoption. Watch next for how the fee cap affects high-volume merchant payments and whether the equity pool attracts new capital and governance participation.
