Exodus and MoonPay Partner to Launch USD Stablecoin in 2026, Aiming for Mainstream Adoption

5 hour ago 4 sources neutral

Exodus Movement, the developer behind the popular Exodus wallet, has announced a partnership with payments infrastructure firm MoonPay to launch a fully reserved US dollar-pegged stablecoin in 2026. The stablecoin, which will be issued and managed by MoonPay and developed with M0, is designed specifically to simplify transactions for users with limited cryptocurrency knowledge. A key feature is its native integration with Exodus Pay, allowing users to send and spend while maintaining full self-custody of their assets.

The move is part of a broader trend of banks and companies entering the stablecoin space, a trend partly inspired by the GENIUS Act in the USA, which provided a regulatory framework for fiat-pegged stablecoins. Despite new entrants, Tether's USDT and Circle's USDC continue to dominate the market in terms of circulating supply and market capitalization.

Concurrently, the article highlights significant activity in the crypto presale market, with a particular focus on the DeepSnitch AI (DSNT) project. Its presale has raised over $825,000 across three stages, rapidly approaching a $1 million milestone. The project offers an AI-powered trading intelligence suite with five operational agents (SnitchScan, SnitchFeed, SnitchGPT) designed to predict market sentiment, identify risks like rug pulls, and track whale movements. The token is priced at $0.02846, and the project offers exclusive bonus codes (DSNTVIP50, DSNTVIP100) for large investments, with a full platform launch scheduled for January.

In contrast, the article presents a more muted outlook for the Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) project, an L2 solution for Bitcoin that uses the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM). While its long-term price prediction for 2030 suggests potential highs of $3.05, its immediate development outlook is clouded. The mainnet launch, originally scheduled for Q4 2025, has been delayed to 2026 with no recent developmental updates, leading to a more conservative near-term price prediction of $0.1557 (roughly 10x gains).

The report frames these developments within the emerging trend of "crypto super apps"—single interfaces aggregating trading, payments, and other services—citing a Delphi Digital analysis that highlights platforms like Binance as leaders in this monolithic strategy.
