Verona, formerly known as XION, has launched verUSD, a dollar stablecoin it describes as the first built for AI agents. The token debuted with more than $100 million in commitments, including over $60 million in signed revenue expected to flow through verUSD as contracted payment volume, while the remainder is capital pledged by ecosystem partners. Verona has not disclosed verUSD's day-one supply or the period covered by those payments. The coin is live on Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, Optimism, Arbitrum, Celo and Solana, with additional networks planned in the weeks after launch. Issued through Brale, a FinCEN (U.S. financial-crimes agency)-registered money services business in Des Moines, Iowa, verUSD is described as fully backed by dollar reserves at regulated U.S. financial institutions, with redemption handled through Verona. The company says it has processed USDC payments across its infrastructure for four years and recorded more than 70 million verified interactions involving 5 million users. Its strategy emphasizes payment flows rather than users holding the token. The launch enters a growing field that includes Exodus's XO Cash and Mosta's MainUSD, while Coinbase, Google and Circle are developing broader agent-payment infrastructure. The stablecoin market exceeds $300 billion, with USDT and USDC accounting for more than 80%, making Verona's $100 million commitment figure roughly 0.03% of the market. The announcement provides limited detail on reserves, redemption terms, supported agent protocols, trading venues, or verUSD's relationship with Verona's VERONA token. U.S. regulatory requirements also remain unsettled: the GENIUS Act takes effect no later than January 18, 2027, and the head of the OCC (U.S. banking regulator) has said a final rule is due by November. The release is the only source for the volume figures.
