The key distinction between USDG and USDC/USDT lies in their stablecoin economics: with USDC and USDT, the reserve yield is mainly retained by the issuers Circle and Tether, meaning platforms that drive adoption rarely have a systematic way to share in those returns. In contrast, USDG operates within Paxos’ compliant issuance framework and, through the GDN, allocates up to approximately 97%–100% of its reserve yield to approved network partners, rather than letting a single issuer capture all the value.

The Global Dollar Network (GDN) is a USD stablecoin ecosystem launched by Paxos alongside multiple industry partners. Its primary circulating token is Global Dollar (USDG). By connecting issuers, platforms, and merchants, GDN redefines how stablecoin yield is distributed, driving the adoption of prudentially regulated stablecoins across payments, settlements, and on-chain use cases.

The main distinction between OUSD (Open Standard) and USDG (Global Dollar Network) centers on their governance and issuance frameworks. OUSD is overseen by Open Standard, an independent operating company, with collective decision-making involving a partner board and a focus on zero mint/redeem fees, supported by a network of more than 140 founding enterprise partners. In contrast, USDG operates under the licensed issuance framework of Paxos, with the Global Dollar Network (GDN) defining partner roles and Rendite rules; USDG launched in November 2024. Both tokens direct reserve Rendite toward ecosystem partners that drive adoption, but they differ in issuer structure, regulatory approach, and stages of network expansion.

The key distinction between USDG and Paxos-issued PYUSD and USDP lies in their regulatory jurisdictions and network models. USDG is issued by two entities—under Singapore's MAS and the EU's MiCA framework—and incorporates the Global Dollar Network (GDN) partner yield structure. In contrast, PYUSD and USDP are both issued by Paxos Trust Company under NYDFS regulation in New York State, designed for U.S. domestic payments and general stablecoin use cases, and are not integrated with the GDN network.

The core logic of USDG's minting and redemption process is "reserve first, then mint; burn first, then refund": Paxos only mints USDG on-chain after confirming that the equivalent amount in USD has been credited to a segregated reserve account. For redemptions, it first burns the on-chain tokens and then returns the USD. This two-way mechanism ensures the circulating supply always maintains a 1:1 ratio with the reserve balance.
