Bitgo Appointed Issuer for FYUSD to Establish US Stablecoin Standards in Asia

New Frontier Labs announced its strategic partnership with Bitgo Bank & Trust to introduce the FYUSD stablecoin. Bitgo serves as the primary issuer and custodian for the asset, which is structured to comply with the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act. The initiative targets expansion in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Japan by integrating with local banking and fintech infrastructure.

The project features the “Fypher” infrastructure suite, which supports programmable settlement for autonomous AI transactions, a concept the founders describe as “ Stablecoin 2.0.” All FYUSD reserves are maintained in segregated, bankruptcy-remote accounts to ensure high-level transparency and protection for institutional users. The partnership aims to bridge the gap between U.S. regulatory oversight and the rapidly growing digital asset demand in Asian jurisdictions.

“With Bitgo’s infrastructure, we are launching what we describe as ‘ Stablecoin 2.0,’ laying the groundwork for Agentic Commerce,” says Lucas Yi, Head of Business at New Frontier Labs.
