The decentralized finance landscape continues to evolve as Usual officially launches its V2 upgrade, transforming its stablecoin protocol into a broader financial ecosystem. The update introduces a suite of new services that bridge traditional banking and on-chain finance, including direct bank account top-ups, fee-free euro transfers, and upcoming U.S. dollar support.
Usual V2 also enhances multi-currency functionality, allowing users to hold, spend, and exchange assets on-chain through its clearFX system, which determines exchange pricing based on underlying bond values. The protocol aims to offer stable yields without lock-up periods while providing additional investment opportunities linked to the performance of the USUAL token.
Beyond payments and investing, the platform is expanding into real-world spending with the launch of the Usual Card and introducing fixed-rate collateralized lending products. A standout feature is its new AI trading assistant, which leverages an MCP-connected infrastructure to enable trusted AI agents to execute transactions and manage strategies within the protocol. The launch reflects a growing trend toward combining artificial intelligence, payments, and decentralized finance into a unified user experience. #AI
