West Lafayette, IN | London, UK — Hoskinson Family Office, Inc. (HFO) has made a significant $1.5 million investment in W3i Software, Inc., the company behind USDM, Cardano’s first MiCA-compliant, fiat-backed stablecoin. This strategic move aims to bridge the gap between decentralized finance (DeFi) and the regulated financial ecosystem, helping to expand Cardano’s reach globally.

USDM, a stablecoin issued by Moneta Digital, is one of the few digital currencies fully aligned with the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework. By introducing a fully compliant digital dollar to the Cardano network, USDM creates new opportunities for developers, institutions, and governments to access reliable, on-chain financial solutions.
Strategic Collaboration to Accelerate USDM Adoption
As part of the investment, Dan Singleman, Chief Investment Officer of HFO, will collaborate closely with W3i CEO Jillian Plomin and the rest of the leadership team to boost the adoption of USDM across banks, government institutions, and financial markets worldwide. This partnership aims to position Cardano as a leader in regulated blockchain finance.
“USDM is essential infrastructure for Cardano’s future. W3i and Moneta Digital have created a stablecoin that meets the highest regulatory standards. Our focus now is driving institutional adoption across banks, governments, and financial markets. This is the real-world use case for Cardano we’ve been working toward.”
Charles Hoskinson, Founder of HFO and CEO of Input Output Global (IOG)
Empowering Global Investors: W3i Launches Crowdfunding Campaign
In addition to the investment, W3i has launched a Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF) campaign, inviting global supporters to invest in the company and become shareholders in the technology powering Cardano’s regulated DeFi future. This initiative gives everyday investors the chance to own a piece of the infrastructure that will drive Cardano’s compliance and growth in the financial sector.
“We’re not just building a stablecoin—we’re laying the groundwork for Cardano to thrive within the regulated financial ecosystem. With the support of the Hoskinson Family Office and our community, USDM is poised to lead the future of finance.”
Jillian Plomin, CEO of W3i
