Exodus and MoonPay to Launch Stablecoin for Seamless Global Payments

Highlights:

• Exodus and MoonPay partner to launch a new USD-backed stablecoin for global payments.
• The stablecoin supports Exodus Pay, enabling users to send, spend, and earn digital dollars.
• Exodus and MoonPay’s collaboration integrates global infrastructure for seamless crypto payments.

Exodus, one of the pioneering self-custodial digital asset platforms, has partnered with MoonPay and M0 to launch a fully USD-backed stablecoin. This new digital dollar aims to streamline transactions across the Exodus ecosystem. According to the press release, the stablecoin will be issued and managed by MoonPay by utilizing the open stablecoin infrastructure provided by M0.

Simplifying Payments with Exodus Pay

Exodus Pay, which is an upcoming feature on the Exodus app, will enable users to send, receive, and spend digital dollars easily. This feature, supported by the stablecoin, will provide a simple experience to those who want to utilize cryptocurrency without the need to understand the complex blockchain technology. It provides a solution that embraces the quickness and worldwide availability of stablecoins, thus making payments simple for consumers across the world. This move consequently helps Exodus in broadening its payments ecosystem.

According to JP Richardson, the CEO of Exodus:

Global Access through MoonPay and M0’s Infrastructure

MoonPay, a popular crypto payments platform, will be a crucial distributor of the new stablecoin. With its global network, users will easily buy, sell, exchange, and deposit the stablecoin with ease. Exodus Pay will also support both personal and business transactions with the help of the infrastructure provided by MoonPay to provide wider access and efficiency.

MoonPay CEO Ivan Soto-Wright stated:

This collaboration shows the potential of the collaboration between traditional finance and blockchain-based payments. Digital dollars have now become usable by businesses and consumers in their daily lives. In addition, firms that require stablecoins that are programmable and interoperable will gain the flexible infrastructure offered by M0.

MoonPay, in September, acquired Meso to accelerate its expansion plans. During the year, the firm has bought Solana-based Helio for $175 million and stablecoin infrastructure provider Iron in March.

Growing Demand for Stablecoins

The growth of the use of stablecoins due to the rapidity of dollar settlements is evident in the market. According to CoinGecko data, stablecoins have surpassed a market value of $300 billion in 2025. Even with the rise in the number of new entrants, USDC and USDT continue to dominate with almost 85% of the market share.

The launch of the stablecoin aims to offer a competitive alternative. It can expand its operations in the international market by enhancing the payment experience. Moreover, this Exodus and MoonPay partnership sets the stage for stablecoins as a key element in the global financial system.

The digital dollar is slated to be launched early in 2026. This is after the relevant regulatory authorizations and integrations of the products are carried out. Additionally, information regarding networks supported, product integrations, and availability will be provided near the official launch. Exodus recently agreed to purchase W3C Corp and its subsidiaries in a deal worth $175 million. This acquisition also helps Exodus in developing a full end-to-end payment system that includes wallets and cards.
