According to Odaily, global IT engineering and solutions provider GFT and decentralized cloud infrastructure company Red Date Technology have integrated stablecoins based on the Hedera network and the EMTECH CBDC Sandbox into the Universal Digital Payment Network (UDPN). The team stated that this integration will facilitate the creation of programmable payment applications using stablecoins and CBDCs on Hedera. In this proof of concept, GFT developed and integrated two custom transaction nodes, connecting the UDPN to digital currency systems through a transaction gateway—one for stablecoins in the Hedera Stablecoin Studio and another for CBDCs in the EMTECH CBDC Sandbox.
