Polkadot Governance Referendum Sees dotUSD Stablecoin Proposal Go Live

A referendum has gone live on DOT DAO governance proposing the introduction of dotUSD, a protocol-native stablecoin for Polkadot.

The proposal outlines a phased rollout, starting with a stables-backed design and later moving to a DOT-collateralized vault phase. The latter is subject to further development and governance approval.

Approval would expand the utility of DOT by adding a native settlement asset to the network's onchain economic flow.
