USDH Proposals: Galaxy’s Deep Dive

Galaxy Research dropped a full side-by-side of every USDH issuer and their economics.

Key takeaways:

• Models diverge fast - Native Markets lean heavy on Hyperliquid incentives (50% of yield to the Assistance Fund) while Paxos and Agora keep a more traditional reserve + T-bill backing

• Regulatory spread - Some issuers (Sky, Curve) embrace decentralized redemption and on-chain governance, while others like Paxos and Ethena chase U.S. charters or Anchorage custody

• Ecosystem bets - Native Markets ties USDH to Hyperliquid growth, Frax stays conservative, and OpenEden targets HYPE buybacks

The full matrix makes it obvious: “USDH” will not be one stablecoin but a federation of radically different collateral mixes and regulatory risk profiles - creating new opportunities for regulatory arbitrage and redemption variance.

Turnkey’s Embedded Wallet Kit
Turnkey launched a new Embedded Wallet Kit, giving developers a faster, simpler way to integrate wallets on their platform. With one SDK, teams can spin up secure wallets, enable flexible logins, and ship enterprise-grade authentication, all in under 7 minutes, with no backend required.

• Spin up secure wallets instantly - Wallet creation and auth flows run fully in-browser, with no backend required (but optional)

• Flexible login options - Users can sign in with email, Google, Apple, Facebook, X, Discord, or connect external Ethereum and Solana wallets

• Stronger authentication, built in - Developers can offer secure OTP, OAuth, and passkey logins without building backend flows

With this release, Turnkey sets a new standard for embedded wallets, offering faster integration than competing solutions while still providing the flexibility to drop down into low-level infra as products evolve.
