Atlantis USD Surpasses 1 Million Users, Marking Rapid Growth in Stablecoin Adoption

Atlantis USD (USDA), a lawful USD stablecoin serving the Atlantis ecosystem, has surpassed 1 million active users and holders as of August 20, 2026, according to an announcement. This milestone, achieved within approximately 15 months of its launch in May 2025, also includes a circulating supply of 5 billion USDA, equivalent to US$5 billion. The rapid adoption underscores USDA's emergence as a top-tier stablecoin, trailing only front-runners like USDT and USDC, while it continues its trajectory toward hundreds of millions of users.

The significance of this achievement lies in USDA's role as the official digital payment and settlement currency for the Atlantis ecosystem, which includes the Atlantis Kingdom in the Web3 space and the Atlantis Exchange Pro. The growing user base and circulation reflect increasing participation in the ecosystem, where USDA facilitates global payments and transactions. The milestone is a key step in USDA's broader mission to provide a stable, USD-denominated digital currency for worldwide economic activity, with a long-term goal of reaching hundreds of millions of users by 2026 or Q2 2027.

USDA distinguishes itself from other stablecoins through two key features. First, it operates without an issuer's ability to freeze, blacklist, or ban any user or wallet address, functioning like fiat currency in this regard. This contrasts with other stablecoins where issuers may freeze or restrict wallets at their discretion. Second, USDA has a fixed maximum supply, fully minted at inception, and is released gradually based on verified market demand. This is unlike fiat currencies and many stablecoins that have unlimited supplies, which can be increased arbitrarily by the issuer.

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 not directly pegged to the U.S. dollar but is backed 1:1 by a reserve of U.S. T-bills, USD stablecoins (USDT, USDC, USDB, PYUSD), and selected cryptocurrencies, ensuring its value remains consistently equal to one U.S. dollar. As a fully transparent and strictly regulated ATC-20 stablecoin, USDA powers decentralized trading, global payments, AI-integrated applications, and various dApps within the Atlantis ecosystem.

Notably, USDA's launch predates the GENIUS Act (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act), which was signed into law in July 2025. As a result, USDA users may enjoy its grandfathered lawful status as a USD stablecoin under U.S. laws, providing regulatory clarity and fostering its expansion worldwide.
