Excerpt from StartupBeat
Crescite Innovation Corporation has announced the launch of Catholic USD™, a fully reserved stablecoin developed in collaboration with BitGo and designed to serve Catholic institutions and communities on a global scale.
Unlike most stablecoins on the market, Catholic USD™ operates under a mission-first economic model. All on-chain yield generated by the system will be distributed to support charitable works, humanitarian relief, education access, and mission-driven initiatives across the Catholic ecosystem, with no yield retained as profit.
“Catholic USD™ leads first and foremost through mission,” said Eddie Cullen, CEO of Crescite Innovation Corporation. “By directing 100% of on-chain yield to serve the poor, Catholic USD™ transforms modern financial infrastructure into a living expression of that mission, delivered with institutional-grade security through our partnership with BitGo.”
