Decibel announced a protocol update ahead of its mainnet launch this month, introducing the protocol-native stablecoin USDCBL. Issued by Bridge, the stablecoin is backed by cash and U.S. Treasury bonds, with returns retained on-chain. Users must deposit USDC to convert it into USDCBL for trading. The foundation describes USDCBL as a core infrastructure component, not a typical stablecoin. This token launch marks a key step in developing the exchange’s on-chain perpetual contract system.

ChainCatcher report: According to market sources, Decibel, a decentralized derivatives exchange incubated by Aptos Labs, has announced the launch of its native protocol stablecoin, USDCBL, ahead of its mainnet debut this month. Issued by Bridge, USDCBL is designed to serve as collateral for on-chain perpetual contracts, with yields generated from its cash and U.S. Treasury reserves retained within the protocol. Decibel states that users will need to deposit USDC and exchange it for USDCBL according to the prescribed process after launch. The USDCBL reserve is backed by a combination of cash and short-term U.S. Treasuries, with the generated yields allocated to protocol development and ecosystem growth, reducing reliance on trading fees and incentive programs. The foundation emphasizes that this initiative is not about “launching another stablecoin,” but rather positioning USDCBL as core exchange infrastructure.
