Morph, an Ethereum-based platform, has launched $150 million Payment Accelerator program to help payment companies expand real-world blockchain transactions. The program supports firms bringing live payments on-chain, meeting the rising need for faster and more efficient global payments.
Driving Adoption of Stablecoins in Global Commerce
Stablecoins have become a trusted way to move money globally, especially for cross-border payments. In 2024 alone, stablecoin transactions reached $27.6 trillion, highlighting a shift toward faster, cheaper, and more flexible on-chain payments.
However, much of today’s payment infrastructure is still fragmented and inefficient, slowing settlements and locking up capital. Morph’s new accelerator aims to fix this by offering the tools and incentives needed to move real-world payments onto the blockchain at scale.
A Multi-Track Funding Initiative
The Payment Accelerator offers multiple funding tracks to support payment companies at different stages of growth. Participants can access:
- Grant funding
- Performance-based incentives
- Liquidity support
These resources scale from early-stage production to high-volume operations, based on a company’s progress and needs. The program targets areas where on-chain payments are already seeing adoption, including crypto cards, cross-border remittances, and merchant payment gateways.
Focus on Real-World Use and Readiness
To qualify, teams must be close to launch, with a working MVP or live product. Preference will go to companies that already show traction, such as meaningful monthly volume, proven transaction throughput, or signed pilots with verifiable post-launch activity.
Infrastructure providers must show production-ready integrations and strong security practices. All participants are required to meet KYC and AML standards and follow applicable local regulations.
Access to Morph’s Ecosystem and Partner Networks
Participants in the Payment Accelerator will gain access to Morph’s live settlement infrastructure and coordinated go-to-market support. Platforms that integrate with Morph can also connect with major partners like Bitget and Bitget Wallet, reaching more than 120 million users.
“The payments sector represents the largest and most immediate opportunity for on-chain adoption,” said Colin Goltra, CEO of Morph.
“The Payment Accelerator is designed to provide serious operators with the tools, incentives, and ecosystem access needed to scale on-chain payments and drive the future of financial transactions.”
What’s Next
Applications for the Payment Accelerator are now open, with pilot partnerships already in progress. Morph plans to announce more partners and program updates in the coming months as the initiative grows.
As the payments industry evolves, Morph aims to play a key role in expanding blockchain-based payments and enabling faster, more efficient global commerce.
