USTD

The bank-native digital dollar — stablecoin-grade usability, while the dollar stays a bank deposit.

USTD is a common, multi-bank wrapper around rolling one-day certificates of deposit (or economically similar short-maturity bank funding). It gives holders an always-on, programmable dollar without moving the underlying cash out of the regulated banking system: the bank keeps the deposit, the funding, and the customer — and captures the on-chain dollar flows it would otherwise lose to non-bank stablecoin issuers.

Make bank money as usable as a stablecoin — without draining the deposit.

Stablecoins proved customers value a portable, software-native dollar that settles around the clock. But when a customer converts a deposit into a typical stablecoin, the cash leaves the bank and moves to the issuer, who earns the float and owns the customer; the bank's deposit base — the foundation of its lending — shrinks, and the bank is reduced to an on-ramp the issuer routes around.

USTD takes the opposite path. It makes a bank-issued liability usable in programmable markets while the dollar stays a deposit inside the regulated banking system. The customer gets stablecoin-grade usability; the bank keeps its funding, its credit-creation capacity, and its customer — and now captures the on-chain flows rather than losing them. The demand has already moved, and it is increasingly expressed by autonomous software agents transacting 24/7. The only open question is whose dollar meets it.

Bank money, made programmable — on infrastructure built for institutions.

01

Deposits preserved, not drained

The exposure begins as a bank liability, so the dollar never leaves the banking system. The deposit base — and the lending it supports — stays intact, and the bank captures the new on-chain flows instead of ceding them to a non-bank issuer.

02

Built for the agentic era

Humans — and, increasingly, autonomous AI agents — transact continuously and need a trustworthy dollar leg on real market infrastructure. USTD is the bank-grade alternative to reaching for a non-bank stablecoin by default.

03

One integrated clearing layer

EVX delivers clearing, collateral, credit, margin, perpetuals, FX, and atomic settlement as a single internally-consistent system — not a fragile stack of third-party DeFi vendors with compounding fee drag and composability risk.

04

A neutral settlement leg

wBTX is a fully-backed, post-quantum settlement asset — 1:1 to real BTX, enforced as a consensus rule. Paired with USTD it forms the lowest-friction on-ramp into neutral settlement, plugged directly into the bank deposit base.

One token interface, bank-originated exposure underneath.

01

Bank-centered exposure

The economic exposure begins as a participating bank's liability — a rolling one-day CD or comparable short-maturity funding — not as a standalone non-bank reserve token. The dollar stays on a bank's balance sheet.

02

Common multi-bank wrapper

Rather than every bank issuing its own fragmented token, USTD presents one canonical digital object to the market while allocating exposure across eligible banks under explicit per-bank concentration, maturity, and eligibility rules.

03

Rollover and redemption

The wrapper standardizes transfer, redemption sequencing, maturity rollover, attestations, and liquidity-buffer behavior, so the operational rules are visible and governed before scale.

USTD, EVX, BTX, and wBTX — distinct roles, one integrated stack.

Evaluate it as financial-market infrastructure, not a speculative token thesis. USTD is the bank-dollar instrument; EVX is the programmable clearing and settlement layer it runs on, built and running in a test network; wBTX is the neutral, fully-backed settlement leg; and BTX is the public, post-quantum substrate underneath.

USTD

Wrapper layer

A standardized bank-liability token for approved holders, wallets, venues, smart contracts, liquidity pools, and treasury systems — one instrument the whole ecosystem can build on.

EVX

Clearing & settlement layer

An institutional FMI: a clearing core with a default waterfall, full collateral / credit / margin machinery, and confidential settlement with selective disclosure for auditors and regulators. Deterministic ~1-2s finality; built and running in a test network.

wBTX

Settlement asset

A representation of BTX on EVX, backed 1:1 by real BTX and enforced as a consensus rule — a block that would create unbacked wBTX cannot be finalized. The neutral counter-leg to USTD.

BTX

Public substrate

A public protocol documented at btx.dev: MatMul proof-of-work, post-quantum spend paths, and shielded settlement with selective disclosure — a narrow, neutral, non-sovereign base layer.

A bank-grade wrapper is defined by its constraints.

USTD does not remove credit, liquidity, legal, operational, or compliance risk. It turns those risks into explicit, governed rules that banks, regulators, treasurers, and counterparties can evaluate — institutional controls first, scale second.

Legal characterization

The model must define precisely whether the holder has a deposit, brokered deposit, CD, custodial receipt, security, payment stablecoin, or another contractual claim — a determination settled with counsel and regulators, not asserted.

Credible redemption

Redemption paths should specify the wrapper, bank, liquidity pool, or agent responsible in normal hours, after hours, holidays, same-day stress, and on the failure of a participating bank.

No opaque shadow bank

Eligibility, concentration and maturity limits, liquidity-buffer methodology, attestation and audit standards, and conflict-of-interest controls must be published before adoption accelerates.

Compliance with privacy

Banking-grade controls must satisfy AML, sanctions, fraud, and customer-identification duties while preserving institutional transaction privacy — market-level confidentiality with supervisor-level visibility via selective disclosure.

A shared distribution channel for software-native bank liquidity.

A multi-bank wrapper lets participating banks — including mid-sized and smaller institutions that could not build this alone — retain funding relationships, reach digital-market liquidity, and compete with non-bank issuers without surrendering the customer or the deposit. The economics are additive to the deposit franchise rather than cannibalizing it.
