1Money expands regulatory reach with 34 US licenses
1Money, a blockchain company focused on stablecoin payments, has secured 34 money transmitter licenses across the United States along with a Bermuda Class F digital asset business license.
The announcement, made Thursday, highlights the company’s plan to launch global “stablecoin orchestration services” through its regulated entities.
The services will provide infrastructure for stablecoins, including a layer-1 protocol, orchestration tools, and compliant fiat connections. Customers will be able to mint stablecoins and real-world asset (RWA) tokens while linking them to traditional banking systems.
CEO Brian Shroder said the licenses will allow 1Money to “orchestrate stablecoin flows across both traditional rails and emerging blockchain infrastructure.”
Growing adoption of stablecoins in payments
Stablecoins continue to rise in popularity as a reliable payment method. Between January 2023 and February 2025, $94.2 billion worth of transactions were settled using stablecoins.
A May survey of 295 executives across banks, fintech firms, and payment providers showed that 90% are already using or exploring stablecoins.
Adoption has also reached retail: in August, grocery giant Spar announced stablecoin and crypto payment options across its Swiss stores.
Traditional payment giants join the trend
Payment processors and financial institutions are racing to integrate stablecoins.
- Shopify introduced early access to USDC payments in June, partnering with Coinbase.
- Visa expanded its settlement platform with support for USDG, PYUSD, and EURC stablecoins.
- Mastercard partnered with Circle and Finastra to expand global access to USDC.
- Stripe launched stablecoin-based accounts for clients in over 100 countries.
