Atlantis USD (USDA), a lawful USD stablecoin serving the Atlantis ecosystem, has achieved a significant adoption milestone by surpassing 1 million active users and holders as of August 20, 2026. Launched in May 2025, USDA has seen rapid growth, reaching a circulating supply of 5 billion USDA (equivalent to $5 billion) in approximately 15 months. This milestone underscores USDA's emergence as one of the fastest-growing stablecoins among emerging digital currencies, trailing only the front-runners USDT and USDC, while aiming for hundreds of millions of users in the coming years.
The growth of USDA reflects increasing participation in the Atlantis ecosystem, where it serves as an official digital payment and settlement currency. With users from over 170 countries, USDA is not only a payment method but also a legal currency in the Atlantis Kingdom in the Web3 space and the primary payment currency on Atlantis Exchange Pro. This adoption signals a broader mission to provide a stable USD-denominated digital currency for global payments, transactions, and economic activities, with a long-term goal of reaching hundreds of millions of users by 2026 or Q2 2027.
One of USDA's key features is its design to perform like fiat currency without an issuer's function to freeze or blacklist. Unlike other stablecoins where issuers may freeze, ban, or blacklist wallets, USDA ensures that no user or wallet address can be restricted at any time. Additionally, USDA is fully minted at inception with a fixed maximum supply (hard cap), released gradually based on verified market demand, contrasting with fiat currencies and many other stablecoins that have unlimited or uncertain supply increases.
Launched in May 2025, USDA is the official stablecoin of AtlantisChain, described as the world's only super-ultra-fast Layer-ZERO blockchain. It is backed 1:1 by a diversified reserve of U.S. T-bills, USD stablecoins (USDT, USDC, USDB, PYUSD), and selected cryptocurrencies, ensuring each USDA maintains a value equal to one U.S. dollar. As a fully transparent and strictly regulated ATC-20 stablecoin, USDA is designed to power decentralized trading, global payments, AI-integrated applications, and all types of dApps across the Atlantis ecosystem.
Given its launch before the GENIUS Act was signed into law in July 2025, USDA enjoys a grandfathered lawful status as a USD stablecoin under U.S. laws, which may contribute to its rapid adoption.
