Movement is expanding its focus to cross-border payments, remittances, stablecoins, and yield-generating financial products for emerging markets. As part of that expansion, Movement has secured access to licensed payment rails across the United States, Canada, and the European Union, giving fintechs, neobanks, and payment providers the regulated infrastructure to build compliant cross-border products on the Movement Network, subject to the licensed provider's program terms and underwriting.
Several partners are currently live and building on the network today: KAST, Circle, Avant Protocol, Near Intents, Sorted Wallet, Yuzu Money, Oro, Zoth and more. The Movement Network Foundation simultaneously executed a token buyback, repurchasing approximately 19% of investor-allocated tokens equal to 4.2% of total supply.
Why Movement Is Pivoting
The remittance system that serves the Global South moves $685 billion a year and still charges senders an average of 6.36% per transaction. Settlement takes two to five days in most corridors. The correspondent banking chain that handles it requires billions in pre-funded float, sitting idle across destination markets. It hasn't materially changed in fifty years.
At the same time, stablecoin adoption is accelerating fastest in exactly the markets that legacy rails have failed. $265 billion in stablecoin circulation globally. $33 trillion in transaction volume in 2025, up 72% year over year. Across Latin America, West Africa, and Southeast Asia, USDT and USDC have become the dollar savings account that local banks never offered. The demand is real, yet the missing piece has been compliant, institutional-grade infrastructure to build on top of it. Movement serves as that infrastructure.
What Licensed Payment Rails Changes
Most blockchain infrastructure asks partners to assume regulatory risk. Movement absorbs it through integrated collaborative solutions. Licensed payment rails across the US, Canada, and EU mean neobanks and fintechs operating in the US-Mexico corridor, West Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Gulf can build compliant cross-border products on regulated rails without acquiring that licensing themselves.
How the Model Works
Building payments infrastructure for emerging markets means solving three problems in sequence. Users need a stablecoin they can trust. That stablecoin needs rails that clear. Those rails need yield infrastructure that holds up under real redemption pressure. The partners live on Movement today each cover one of those layers, and together they close the loop.
The savings layer sits on top of that foundation. MovePosition facilitates money markets and lending natively on the Movement Network. Canopy is the vault interface partners use to offer savings products to their users without building that infrastructure from scratch. All of this allows a neobank in an emerging market to integrate once and get the entire stack.
What's Live
KAST: More than 18,000 verified users have joined through Movement-powered products across more than 160 countries.
Circle / USDCx: USDCx launched as a natively issued stablecoin on the Movement Network, backed 1:1 by native USDC and designed to support payments, treasury, and savings products built by partners.
Avant Protocol: Avant selected the Movement Network to support yield and treasury products, including periods of elevated redemption activity earlier this year.
Sorted Wallet: Movement Network Foundation participated in Sorted Wallet's $4.4M seed round alongside Tether and Gnosis, backing a non-custodial crypto wallet built for feature phones with 500,000+ downloads across 160 countries and active users in Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Pakistan.
Yuzu Money: Yuzu Money will serve as a curator on the Movement Network’s Canopy savings platform, delivering conservative USD yield through T-bills and AAA CLOs for neobank and fintech partners.
Oro: Oro, an onchain gold tokenization platform, is integrating with the Movement Network as its first cross-chain vault, bringing yield-generating gold vaults and physical redemption infrastructure to Movement's emerging markets partners.
Zoth: Movement has invested in Zoth, integrating its RWA yield infrastructure natively on the Movement Network to give partners access to institutional-grade, dollar-denominated yield products backed by investment-grade assets.
The Network
Movement runs on Move, the programming language Meta developed for financial applications. Sub-second finality. 278ms block time. Low gas costs. Multi-asset support. TokenTerminal ranks Movement among the top five fastest chains globally. Circle, Fireblocks, and Anchorage Digital are integrated at the custody and compliance layer.
Partners integrate once and get settlement, yield, money markets, and savings infrastructure on rails built for the markets the legacy system was never designed to serve.
