- USDM offers enterprise-level privacy with court-authorized data access only.
- Developers debate if complex privacy design is worth the cost.
- Privacy features remain active only within Cardano’s Midnight sidechain.
Cardano is gaining renewed attention following the introduction of its upcoming stablecoin, Moneta USDM. Positioned as the first Private Stablecoin by Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson, the asset is billed to offer enterprise-scale privacy and regulatory compliance.
Hoskinson just provided an update on the project in Buenos Aires and how this can transform the way privacy functions on blockchain finance. Community developer Andrew Westberg elaborated that USDM will allow a comprehensive system of permissions to regulate access by role. Only payroll information would be visible to the employees, financial numbers without personal data would be visible to the accountants, and the legal authorization to access data would have to be approved by the court.
Westberg stated that USDM’s technical complexity is very high compared to the current models. Due to its privacy infrastructure, he projected that USDM may be as much as 20 times more multidimensional than publicly visualized stablecoins such as USDC.

Developers Clash Over Practicality of Moneta USDM’s Complex Privacy Design
Despite its ambitious goals, USDM is already facing criticism from within the blockchain space. Developer Andrew Jewburg questioned whether such an intricate system is necessary. He stated that USDC, which is already cross-chain integrated and meets regulations, can also serve such purposes with fewer resources.
Jewburg additionally made an observation that there is a possibility that private stablecoins are less attractive in mainstream financial operations. He said that the untrained users might not need such usefulness to be advanced in terms of privacy capacities as the USDM plans to provide.
Westberg agreed that the USDC was not suited to some sensitive applications because it is public. He used the examples of government benefit payments, anonymous remittances, and enterprise contracts, which need to be secretive but do not break the law.
He also elucidated that USDM’s privacy operation will run on the Cardano Midnight chain. Nonetheless, when assets leave the chain, the protections provided might no longer be applicable, and the extent of privacy becomes restricted.
Cardano’s Moneta USDM stablecoin is stirring a heated discussion about privacy and practicality. Its future could influence how the crypto industry approaches secure, compliant transactions without sacrificing transparency or user protections.
