In a move to become a key player in the regulated stablecoin market, Anchorage Digital, a pioneering US-based crypto bank, has selected M0 as its primary technology partner. This collaboration aims to empower institutions to create and manage compliant stablecoins. By joining forces with M0, Anchorage Digital is set to broaden its stablecoin issuance capabilities, providing opportunities for various firms to introduce US-regulated stablecoins, as stated in a recent press release.
M0, pronounced 'M Zero', offers a versatile protocol that enables global institutions to create fully customizable stablecoins. The company has already established partnerships 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. This means we support any organization 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 stablecoins being recognized as a regulated instrument in the US.
While M0 has already collaborated with several regulated entities using its contracts, the partnership with Anchorage Digital represents a deeper regulatory-focused relationship, as noted by Prosperi. 'Our partnership with M0 enables us to extend our issuance platform, supporting growth while maintaining the high regulatory, operational, and security standards our partners expect from us,' said Anchorage CEO Nathan McCauley in a statement.
