Paxos has launched a new yield-generating stablecoin called Lift Dollar (USDL), regulated by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) and issued in the UAE.

The stablecoin offers a programmatic daily yield of around 5%, comparable to returns on U.S. Treasury bonds.

USDL is designed to democratize access to dollars and the risk-free rate safely, similar to other Paxos stablecoins like PayPal USD (PYUSD), Pax Dollar (USDP), and Pax Gold (PAXG).

CEO Charles Cascarilla emphasized that USDL operates like a savings product rather than a checking account.

It will not be available in the U.S. due to regulatory challenges.

Initially, USDL will target the Argentine market, with distribution through partners Ripio, Buenbit, and TiendaCrypto.

To attract users, Paxos is waiving 30 basis points of its asset management fee, offering over 5% yield to users.
