In a strategic move, Anchorage Digital, the first federally chartered cryptocurrency bank in the US, has selected M0 as its primary technology provider to power its regulated stablecoin offerings. This collaboration aims to establish Anchorage as a leading platform for institutions seeking to create and manage compliant stablecoins. By joining forces with M0, Anchorage Digital is set to broaden its stablecoin issuance capabilities, catering to a diverse array of firms interested in launching US-regulated stablecoins, as stated in a recent press release. M0, pronounced 'M Zero', is a versatile protocol that enables global institutions to create fully customizable stablecoins.
The company has already partnered with notable players such as Stripe, Moonpay, and MetaMask. According to M0 CEO Luca Prosperi, 'We've been developing modular infrastructure for stablecoins over the past three years, which means we support any entity looking to launch and manage their own stablecoin, whether it's a crypto project, protocol, fintech, payment provider, exchange, or more.' The introduction of the GENIUS Act has led to the regulation of stablecoins in the US. While M0 has already collaborated with several regulated entities using its contracts, the partnership with Anchorage represents a deeper regulatory-focused relationship, added Prosperi. Anchorage CEO Nathan McCauley stated, 'Our partnership with M0 enables us to extend our issuance platform, supporting the growth of regulated stablecoins while maintaining the high regulatory, operational, and security standards our partners expect from us.'
