Open Issuance (Stablecoin Issuance Platform)

Bridge's Open Issuance platform enables any business to launch their own branded stablecoin in a matter of days, providing complete white-label stablecoin issuance infrastructure with built-in reserves management, compliance tooling, distribution channels, and interoperability within the Bridge stablecoin network.

Product Overview

Open Issuance is designed for fintechs, crypto platforms, enterprises, and banks that want to issue and manage their own stablecoin without building the underlying infrastructure. Bridge handles reserves, compliance (including GENIUS Act readiness), and distribution so issuers can focus on their product experience. Notable issuers on the platform include Klarna (KlarnaUSD) and Phantom (CASH).

Key Features

• Reserve allocation: Choose a mix of cash, US Treasuries, and onchain assets backed by BlackRock, Fidelity Investments, and Superstate
• Multi-chain support: Select which blockchains to support for the custom stablecoin at launch
• Rewards strategy: Configure how yield from reserves is distributed — optionally streamed daily to holders
• Security controls: Implement transaction blacklists and whitelists; optionally launch as a closed-loop stablecoin
• Open Issuance network: Join Bridge's shared liquidity network for seamless conversions and interoperability with other stablecoins
• Distribution from day one: Distribute via Bridge and Stripe onramp products, Privy wallets, Bridge-issued cards, and off-ramp mechanisms
