AI summary / Updated Oct 6, 2026
pathUSD is the Bridge-issued dollar quote token for Tempo: users mint it by depositing USDC through Bridge-supported flows and redeem it back through Bridge redemption rails, against a reserve that Bridge describes as cash, short-dated Treasuries, overnight Treasury repo, and money-market-fund exposure with BlackRock and Fidelity as custody partners. The asset matters less for its current scale than for being native to a payment-focused chain that may become an important stablecoin rail.
