DFNS now supports Movement with full Tier-1 integration. Any institution on DFNS can provision wallets, move the network's native asset and Move-standard tokens, execute Move smart contracts, and track transactions across their full lifecycle on Movement. DFNS runs onchain operations for more than 400 institutional clients across 60-plus networks. Movement now sits alongside the rest of them.
Why Remittances Matter Here
Remittances to low and middle-income countries reached $685 billion in 2024. Most of that money still takes two to five days to clear through correspondent banking. Movement settles those transfers in seconds and removes the pre-funded float. But speed alone doesn't solve the operating problem. Fintechs and neobanks also need accounts that track activity, controls that enforce policy before transactions execute, and reporting that satisfies a regulator. That's what DFNS adds to Movement.
What DFNS brings to Movement
DFNS is a core banking platform for digital assets. In traditional banking, a core banking system runs accounts, payments, and reporting. DFNS does the same thing but for blockchain networks. It sits between an institution's business logic and the networks it uses. On Movement specifically, DFNS handles custody, payments, treasury, and tokenization through Wallet-as-a-Service. It manages the full transaction lifecycle. It runs a policy engine that enforces limits, allowlists, quorums, and roles before anything executes. Governance and compliance sit in the execution path. Audit evidence is exportable.
Why This Matters For Builders
DFNS secures Movement accounts natively because its key infrastructure already supports Move's signing scheme. Builders get cleaner integrations. They get native signing from day one. They get access to the same platform that already runs their operations across 60-plus other networks. No workarounds. No retrofitting.
Why This Matters For Neobanks and Payment Providers
Regulators check compliance before anything else. DFNS is a technology provider, not a custodian. Every wallet stays inside the institution's own regulatory perimeter and licensing framework. This matters because DFNS stays infrastructure. It leaves the customer relationship to the institution. Partners never end up competing with the company they built on.
The security record is concrete. Zero breaches since 2020. Zero key losses since 2020. SOC 2 Type II certification. ISO 27001 certification. Crime and cyber coverage through Beazley and Munich Re. Movement adds licensed payment rails across the US, EU, and Canada. Partners can move real money.
Why This Matters For Users
Remittances are expensive and slow in the corridors where people need them most. Every regulated product built on Movement through DFNS is another way to send money or earn safe dollar yield in regions where reliable financial infrastructure is still rare.
The Business Logic
DFNS spent its early years solving key management and signing. It built out the operating layer institutions need around that signature. In June 2024, it renamed itself from wallet infrastructure to core banking platform. The name now matches what it does. Moving digital assets on Movement now means you can run full institutional operations on a fast blockchain network.
