# Emirates NBD&#8217;s Liv Plans USDU Stablecoin Integration

Liv by Emirates NBD has partnered with Universal Digital and Aquanow to introduce the USDU stablecoin to its digital-banking ecosystem. The partners announced the integration on 9 November 2026.

USDU is registered by the Central Bank of the UAE under its Payment Token Services Regulation and is issued by Universal with stated one-for-one US-dollar reserves. Aquanow will provide the regulated digital-asset infrastructure supporting distribution and Liv X trading.

The partners also announced a three-month zero-fee crypto-trading promotion. Stablecoins and other digital assets carry operational and market risks, and customers should review product eligibility and terms before use.
