MoonPay and Dunamu Partner to Build Global Stablecoin Infrastructure for Cross-Border Payments

MoonPay and Dunamu have entered a strategic collaboration to develop global financial infrastructure using digital assets, focusing on stablecoin-based payments and corporate treasury management. For fintech professionals, this partnership signals a deepening integration between established crypto payment rails and specialized blockchain ecosystems, potentially streamlining cross-border capital movement for institutional and corporate users.

What was announced

The collaboration centers on identifying and developing new business opportunities within the digital asset space, specifically targeting global payments, fund movement, and corporate finance. A primary objective is the exploration of stablecoins as a vehicle for cross-border transactions, leveraging MoonPay’s existing global financial services network alongside Dunamu’s technological stack.

The partnership also focuses on treasury management, where the two firms will investigate how digital asset-based infrastructure can be applied to internal corporate financial operations. Furthermore, the agreement aims to expand the ecosystem of Dunamu’s GIWA blockchain. By linking MoonPay’s global connectivity with the GIWA infrastructure, the companies intend to increase international market access for assets and services built on the blockchain.

The initiative will see both entities reviewing specific use cases for digital assets in fund transfers and examining new financial service models. The goal is to firm up both the technical and commercial potential of these areas, drawing on MoonPay’s infrastructure and Dunamu’s business capabilities to identify usage models that can scale globally. The companies will also leverage their respective partner networks to broaden access to digital assets and strengthen the global connectivity of the GIWA ecosystem.

"For stablecoins to function as global financial infrastructure, it is important to have the technology and network to support not only cross-border payments and fund transfers, but also the real financial operations of businesses.”

What this means

This partnership highlights a shift in the stablecoin market from retail-focused speculative trading toward institutional utility. By targeting corporate treasury and fund movement, MoonPay and Dunamu are positioning digital assets as a legitimate alternative to legacy correspondent banking networks. The focus on the GIWA blockchain suggests that regional ecosystems are seeking global interoperability to remain competitive. For the wider industry, this move puts pressure on traditional cross-border payment providers to accelerate their own blockchain integrations. The success of this collaboration will likely depend on how effectively these firms can navigate the regulatory complexities of cross-border stablecoin transfers in the APAC region.
