USDM Strikes Partnership With Lace Wallet, Braces For Bitcoin DeFi

Cardano’s premier fiat-based stablecoin, USDM, has entered into a partnership with Lace Wallet in a push to broaden its horizons. According to an X post, the stablecoin and Lace Wallet will team up to improve USDM’s on-chain usability, among other things.

While not explicitly detailed, the new partnership promises a range of advantages for USDM. For starters, USDM will be automatically listed in Lace Wallet’s token directory, giving holders native support within the wallet.

 

Furthermore, the partnership will offer in-wallet swap integration between ADA and USDM with prospects of staking rewards. The collaboration between Lace Wallet and USDM will allow holders to use the stablecoin across Cardano-native decentralized finance (DeFi) apps.

Additionally, USDM issuers are targeting an increased role in the ecosystem as Cardano inches toward Bitcoin DeFi. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has previously teased the roadmap for Bitcoin DeFi, touting a three-year window for institutional players to wade into the space.

“As Cardano ushers in Bitcoin DeFi, USDM is ready to be the stable, regulated tool that makes it possible,” read the announcement.

Cardano Ecosystem Sizzles With Activity Amid Incoming Network Changes

Back in March, Lace Wallet integrated with Bitcoin, strengthening its ties with the world’s largest cryptocurrency. The non-custodial wallet later announced support for XRP, aligning with its multi-chain ambitions.

Recently, Cardano has seen a surge in ecosystem activity. Just yesterday, its largest meme coin, SNEK, announced a partnership with Input Output, sparking a rally in SNEK’s price. Meanwhile, ADA rose nearly 2% following news of the USDM-Lace Wallet integration.

With this price movement, ADA appears to have recovered from the impact of the SEC’s ETF delay as renewed optimism fuels a resurgence. Following the setback, Cardano’s daily transactions dipped below 30,000, but new data shows the network is gaining momentum again.
