Kea adds USDG, a MiCA-compliant digital dollar with a 1:1 peg. Purpose-built for corporate treasury and cross-border payments.
Kea has added support for USDG across its platform. Clients can request USDG access and complete buy or sell operations directly through our exchange desk. The currency is designed for everyday business use in corporate treasury, cross-border payments, and global trade. It is issued by trusted stablecoin provider Paxos — now a Kea partner — and operates at a fixed rate of 1 USDG = 1 USD.
Why it matters
Kea’s partnership with Paxos adds choice without adding complexity. USDG is available to finance teams as an operational currency, offering on-demand conversion and direct off-ramping to corporate IBAN accounts in one place. Teams can move funds across fiat and blockchain rails with consistent fees and unified controls, and pay partners through local rails where available.
This reduces settlement delays, lowers operational complexity, and cuts reconciliation effort. USDG also aligns with global compliance requirements, including the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). All flows operate under one KYB and a single policy layer for permissions, approvals, and reporting.
Reward-enabled stablecoin operations
Beyond compliance and operational control, USDG also brings reward functionality to Kea’s clients. Through the partnership with Paxos, businesses can get rewards up to 3.5% APY, while maintaining full flexibility and instant access to funds.
This makes USDG a strong choice for companies seeking to diversify their treasury without exposure to volatility typical of the crypto market.
As stablecoins become a structural element of modern finance, USDG stands out as a natural evolution — combining stability, regulation, and rewards. For finance leaders and CFOs, this provides a practical path to strengthen liquidity strategies with minimal operational effort.
Key highlights of USDG
- Fully backed by U.S. Treasury Bills and independently audited
- 1:1 — 1 USDG = 1 USD
- Parity with leading stablecoins, with rates aligned to USDC and USDT
- Available for holding and exchange
- AML controls applied, fully compliant with the EU’s MiCA regulation
“We are reinforcing our strong focus on stablecoins by adding USDG to our existing support for USDC and USDT—a move designed to significantly enhance the client experience and expand business capabilities.
This expansion directly addresses the needs of finance leaders who want predictable settlement and clean controls without adding more providers.
USDG brings a compliant, scalable, dollar-for-dollar instrument to Kea’s platform. This allows our clients’ teams to hold value when it benefits their business, convert when needed, and reconcile everything in one system.
It is a straightforward way to cut friction while staying fully within regulatory frameworks. We remain focused on removing operational drag for corporate treasury and cross-border payments,” said Mark Berkovich, CEO of Kea.
