New regulatory approvals set stage for global stablecoin orchestration services
1Money, a payment processor building a layer-1 blockchain for stablecoin transactions, has secured 34 U.S. money transmitter licenses alongside a Class F digital asset business license from the Bermuda Monetary Authority. The milestone marks a significant step toward offering regulated stablecoin orchestration services to global markets.
Regulated infrastructure for stablecoin adoption
With its new licenses, 1Money plans to deliver a full suite of compliant fiat and blockchain solutions, enabling customers to mint stablecoins and real-world asset (RWA) tokens while seamlessly connecting them with traditional banking systems.
Brian Shroder, co-founder and CEO of 1Money, said the approvals will allow the firm to “orchestrate stablecoin flows across both traditional rails and emerging blockchain infrastructure.”
By combining regulatory compliance with blockchain efficiency, 1Money aims to position itself as a trusted intermediary for stablecoin issuers, financial institutions, and payment processors.
Growing role of stablecoins in payments
Stablecoins have rapidly evolved from niche assets into mainstream digital payment tools. According to recent data, over $94.2 billion in transactions were settled in stablecoins between January 2023 and February 2025.
A May survey of 295 executives from banks, fintechs, and payment gateways revealed that 90% of institutional players are either using stablecoins or exploring their adoption. This momentum is also reflected in retail adoption, with Spar Switzerland introducing stablecoin payments across its grocery stores earlier this year.
Major players move into stablecoin ecosystem
Traditional payment processors are also accelerating adoption:
- Shopify launched early access for stablecoin payments via USDC in partnership with Coinbase.
- Visa expanded its settlement platform to include USDG, PYUSD, and EURC stablecoins.
- Mastercard partnered with Circle and Finastra to widen merchant and banking access to stablecoins.
- Stripe introduced stablecoin-based accounts for its clients.
These moves signal a growing convergence of traditional finance and blockchain-powered payment solutions.
By securing 34 U.S. licenses and international regulatory backing, 1Money has strengthened its position as a leading stablecoin payment processor. Its orchestration services could help accelerate institutional adoption of digital dollars and tokenized assets, offering a bridge between legacy payment systems and decentralized financial infrastructure.
As the global payments landscape evolves, stablecoins are emerging as a key driver of innovation and efficiency, with 1Money aiming to be at the forefront of this transformation.
