Liquity V2 Introduces $BOLD: A New Crypto-Native Stablecoin

Ambire Wallet has expanded its gas payment options to include **$BOLD** for all users. This builds on Ambire's position as the **first wallet to introduce the Gas Tank concept** back in 2024, which allows users to pay transaction fees using various tokens instead of native blockchain currencies. **Key points:** - $BOLD now accepted for gas payments across Ambire Wallet - Available to all Ambire users immediately - Continues Ambire's innovation in flexible gas payment solutions The Gas Tank feature simplifies the user experience by eliminating the need to hold specific native tokens for transaction fees.

The BOLD/USDC liquidity pool on Uniswap V4 is currently yielding **18% APR**, with rewards paid directly in BOLD tokens. **Key Details:** - Yield paid in BOLD tokens, not external rewards - Additional 0.05% trading fees on top of base APR - LQTY voters recently approved increased rewards for the pool - BOLD positions itself as a censorship-resistant stablecoin This represents a significant increase from the 10% APR offered in February and the 15%+ rates seen earlier in April. Liquidity providers earn continuous BOLD rewards plus swap fees from trading activity. The pool combines yield farming opportunities with exposure to what the protocol describes as one of the most censorship-resistant stablecoins in the market.

**BOLD stablecoin has secured an A- rating from Bluechip**, making it the only crypto-native stablecoin to achieve an A-tier rating. This places BOLD above established competitors like USDC and DAI, which both received B+ ratings. **Key highlights:** - First crypto-native stablecoin with A-tier rating - Rated higher than USDC (B+) and DAI (B+) - Cannot be frozen, unlike centralized alternatives The rating reflects BOLD's strong fundamentals and decentralized architecture. Users can access BOLD through [Liquity's platform](https://liquity.app/borrow) or purchase it via [DeFi aggregators](https://swap.defillama.com/).
