Exodus, MoonPay and M0 launch digital dollar
The stablecoin will be fully reserved, issued and managed by MoonPay using M0’s infrastructure, according to the announcement. The digital currency is intended to power Exodus’ ecosystem and payment features.
The digital dollar will integrate with Exodus Pay, a planned payment feature on the Exodus application that will allow users to spend, manage and earn rewards with stablecoins without requiring cryptocurrency knowledge, the company stated.
Exodus recently acquired W3C Corp and its subsidiaries Baanx and Monavate for $175 million, according to the company. The acquisition aims to build a complete payments stack covering wallets and cards, with the stablecoin designed to enable digital dollar transactions within Exodus’ ecosystem.
The launch follows growing interest in stablecoins as a tool for global finance. U.S. regulatory developments, including the passage of the Genius Act and endorsements by former President Donald Trump, have prompted international initiatives to oversee and promote local currency-backed digital assets.
Major financial players, including Visa, Sony Bank and RedotPay, are also advancing stablecoin-based services, according to industry reports.
Exodus and MoonPay have not disclosed details about supported networks, availability or product integrations. The companies stated that such information will be announced closer to the launch date.
The companies said the stablecoin is designed to simplify digital dollar use while maintaining transparency and full backing by U.S. dollars.
