Sky provides 150 million USDS base liquidity for FX Layer

Odaily reported that Sky (formerly MakerDAO), in collaboration with Spark and Uniswap, announced that the initial 150 million in liquidity for FX Layer, a stablecoin exchange system jointly developed by the three parties, is entirely sourced from the Sky ecosystem's stablecoin USDS. As the platform's core pricing asset, USDS provides base liquidity for USDS/USDT and USDS/PYUSD trading pools, marking the first large-scale implementation of this shared liquidity framework.

The long-term plan for the three parties is to introduce institutions engaged in stablecoin operations, such as PayPal's PYUSD, Ripple's RLUSD, Robinhood, and Revolut, to access the unified infrastructure. This eliminates the need for each issuer to independently build liquidity pools and market-making systems. Simultaneously, a governance mechanism will be established to allow idle funds not involved in market-making to generate ongoing returns.

Looking back to June 25th, Spark and Uniswap officially announced the launch of FX Layer. The division of roles is clear: Spark acts as the orchestration layer to allocate cross-stablecoin liquidity, while Uniswap v4 executes transaction paths via its programmable AMM mechanism through the DualPool hook. It offers a one-stop stablecoin exchange service for banks, fintech companies, and payment enterprises.
