Boilerplate

The USDM DeFi Coalition is a coordinated liquidity initiative deploying aligned capital through USDM — a fiat-backed, Cardano-native stablecoin issued by Moneta Digital with NBX as co-issuer — into Cardano DeFi lending markets on Fluid. Launched March 9, 2026, with five founding partners (Plomin Legacy Fund, NBX, Fluid, Wave Financial, and BlockSign), the Coalition operates as an administrative coordination layer with merit-based DApp selection and 30-day evaluation cycles. The Coalition's thesis: liquidity is infrastructure, and coordinated, productive capital deployment is what makes a DeFi ecosystem mature.

Approved Quotes

The following quotes are pre-approved for journalistic use. For new quotes or background interviews, contact James directly.

  • Liquidity is the difference between 'available' and 'usable.' By deploying USDM together, publicly and intentionally, we're making Cardano DeFi more efficient: better borrowing conditions, deeper markets, and more real activity that developers and users can build around.

    Stig Kjos-Mathisen, NBX
  • We exist to put capital to work where Cardano is being built. The Coalition is the cleanest expression of that thesis we've seen.

    James Meidinger, Plomin Legacy Fund
  • Institutional digital asset investing only works when the underlying markets work. The Coalition is building those markets in public — that's exactly what an institutional allocator needs to see.
