OpenUSD limits management fees to 1 cent for payments of $1,000 or more

Open Standard, the governance body behind the dollar-pegged stablecoin OpenUSD (OUSD), has capped payment management fees at $0.01 per transaction for payments of $1,000 or more, according to CoinDesk. Below that threshold, a fee of 0.1 basis points (0.001%) of the payment amount applies, which reaches the $0.01 cap at $1,000. Reserve income from the stablecoin is distributed to participating firms after management fees are deducted. The move matters because it gives OUSD a fixed, predictable cost structure for large payments, positioning it against stablecoin incumbents such as Tether (USDT) that charge on a different basis. What to watch next is whether the capped fee schedule draws payment volume and partners to OUSD, and how competing issuers respond.
