Welcome to Movement

Movement is the global settlement and yield layer for stablecoins. Built on Move, the programming language Meta developed specifically for financial applications, Movement gives neobanks, fintechs, and payment platforms infrastructure for instant cross-border settlement, dollar savings, and onchain yield at low cost and through licensed partner rails where available.

Traditional remittance and payment rails are slow, expensive, and capital intensive. Remittance flows to low- and middle-income countries reached an estimated $685 billion in 2024, yet senders still pay an average of 6.36% per transaction globally. Movement replaces fragmented correspondent banking flows with stablecoin-based settlement infrastructure designed to lower costs, reduce delays, and make money movement more accessible.

Movement is built for neobanks, fintechs, payment platforms, wallets, developers, and institutions that want to offer better financial products to global users. For end users, that means faster transfers, better dollar access, and more opportunities to earn yield through the apps they already use.

Licensed payment rails connect onchain and/or offchain settlement to regulated financial infrastructure. Through commercial partnerships with licensed money transmitters and e-money institutions, Movement has access to payment rails across the United States, Canada, and the European Union. This helps partners build cross-border payments, remittances, and dollar savings products with clearer paths to market and less dependence on legacy banking intermediaries.

Movement lets partners settle transactions quickly without relying on slow correspondent bank chains or large amounts of idle pre-funded capital. This can reduce capital overhead, improve settlement speed, and make cross-border financial products easier to deliver at scale.

Movement brings yield onchain through stablecoin savings, vault infrastructure, staking, lending, and real-world asset integrations. Partners can offer eligible users dollar-denominated savings and yield products without building the full infrastructure themselves.

Stablecoins are already used globally for payments, savings, treasury, remittances, and dollar access. Movement makes stablecoins more useful by combining fast settlement, Move-based asset security, licensed partner rail access, and financial products around them.

Movement’s financial stack includes USDCx for stablecoin settlement, Canopy for savings and vault infrastructure, MovePosition for money markets, gMOVE for liquid staking, and partner integrations across yield, RWAs, wallets, and payments. Together, these products give partners a single integration layer for payments, treasury, savings, and liquidity products.

Movement is focused on emerging markets and high-friction corridors where money movement is still too expensive, too slow, or too dependent on legacy banking infrastructure, including the U.S.-Mexico corridor, East and West Africa, Southeast Asia, and South Asia.

The Movement ecosystem spans stablecoins, wallets, payments, savings, yield, lending, RWAs, and treasury infrastructure. Ecosystem participants include Circle / USDCx, KAST, Avant, Sorted Wallet, Yuzu Money, Oro, Zoth, MovePosition, and Canopy.

Move was designed from the ground up to secure financial assets. That makes it purpose-built for applications where real money is moving across borders, settling at scale, and interacting with savings, lending, staking, and yield products.

Movement gives builders fast settlement, Move-based asset security, native stablecoin infrastructure, access to licensed partner rails, and a growing financial ecosystem. It is especially suited for payments, neobanks, wallets, remittances, savings, lending, staking, yield, RWAs, and other applications where secure money movement matters.

Movement accrues value through the movement, settlement, and utilization of capital across the network. As payment flows, cross-border transfers, and products for savings, lending, and RWAs scale on the network, value is captured from tangible financial activity. This occurs through three primary channels: transaction fees from onchain flows, settlement demand generated by financial infrastructure, and secure yield layers that incentivize users and institutions to maintain active capital on Movement.

MOVE is the native asset of the Movement Network. It is used for transaction fees, staking, network security, and governance. As more activity moves through the network, MOVE helps power the underlying system.

Movement has reset its governance, upgraded its network, and refocused around stablecoin settlement, dollar savings, yield, and financial infrastructure. After early market maker irregularities, $38 million in recovered funds was used for audited, onchain MOVE token buybacks. The Movement Network Foundation also separately repurchased approximately 19% of tokens previously allocated to investors, equivalent to 4.1% of total supply. Today, Movement’s progress is measured by onchain transparency, technical improvements, ecosystem adoption, and real products serving real users.
