Ducat brings its UNIT stablecoin to Cashu ecash as Turbo UNIT

The Bitcoin-backed stablecoin gets an ecash version built for fast, private payments that never touch the public ledger Ducat, a protocol built for credit and stablecoin activity on Bitcoin ’s base layer, is bringing its UNIT stablecoin to the Cashu ecash protocol. The ecash version is called Turbo UNIT. The announcement landed on October 24, 2026. Its pitch is simple: a dollar-pegged token backed by Bitcoin that can move privately and quickly, off-chain, without leaving a trail on the public Bitcoin ledger. The mechanics start with a deposit. Users send UNIT into the Ducat Cashu mint and get back Turbo UNIT, an ecash form of the same stablecoin. From there, payments get unusually lightweight.
