dYdX is partnering with Kado to bring direct fiat onboarding to dYdX Chain. Traders in over 150 countries can now buy USDC in under 5 minutes using their debit/credit card or bank transfer. Kado eliminates the need for a centralized middle man, allowing users to buy and cash out directly from their wallet. This integration was made possible by Noble and Squid, which introduced a native mint and burn method for Cosmos USDC and enabled cross-chain onboarding.
