What to know:

  • Exodus is launching a fully reserved, USD-backed stablecoin with MoonPay to power self-custodial payments in its crypto wallet app.
  • The stablecoin will support Exodus Pay, a new feature enabling users to spend and send digital dollars without relying on centralized exchanges.
  • With the launch, Exodus joins a short list of public companies, including PayPal and Circle, backing stablecoin products.

Crypto wallet provider Exodus (EXOD) is entering the stablecoin market with the launch of a fully reserved, USD-backed stablecoin in partnership with fintech firm MoonPay.

MoonPay will issue and manage the stablecoin, with support from stablecoin infrastructure provider M0. The token is expected to go live in January 2026, with network and product details to follow.

The move places Exodus among a small group of public companies behind stablecoin products, including Circle (USDC), PayPal (PYUSD) and Fiserv (FIUSD).

The Exodus stablecoin is central to its upcoming product, Exodus Pay, which aims to offer everyday payments in crypto without sacrificing self-custody. Users will be able to spend and send the digital dollar through the Exodus app while earning rewards and avoiding the complexity of typical crypto transactions.

“Stablecoins are quickly becoming the simplest way for people to hold and move dollars onchain,” said JP Richardson, co-founder and CEO at Exodus. “But the experience still needs to meet the expectations set by today’s consumer apps.”

In practice, this could look like a user sending money internationally or buying coffee using a stablecoin inside the Exodus app, without needing to touch a centralized exchange or manage complex wallet settings.

MoonPay, which launched its enterprise stablecoin platform in November, said the Exodus deal demonstrates how branded digital dollars can be embedded into consumer-facing financial tools.

“This launch shows what’s possible when a consumer-first product integrates compliant stablecoin issuance with infrastructure and distribution that can operate at global scale,” said MoonPay CEO Ivan Soto-Wright.

The Exodus stablecoin will be accessible through MoonPay’s global network, including its buy, sell, and swap tools. Rollout will depend on regulatory approval in various markets.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) vs Little Pepe (LILPEPE): Which Meme Coin Will Take the Crown from Dogecoin (DOGE)?

Shiba Inu (SHIB) vs Little Pepe (LILPEPE): Which Meme Coin Will Take the Crown from Dogecoin (DOGE)?

The post Shiba Inu (SHIB) vs Little Pepe (LILPEPE): Which Meme Coin Will Take the Crown from Dogecoin (DOGE)? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Dogecoin has been the face of meme coins for a long time. From Elon Musk tweets to a robust community, DOGE has managed to stay alive. But in 2025, things appear slightly different. Will Shiba Inu keep pursuing Dogecoin, or will new contender Little Pepe pass them both by? Dogecoin (DOGE): Still the Benchmark Dogecoin is trading just above $0.2452, up 10.63% over the past week. That steady climb shows why DOGE still matters: it has the liquidity, the listings, and the recognition that few meme tokens can match. Analysts see its price grinding higher into year-end, supported by altcoin momentum and ETF launches in the U.S. But here’s the thing: DOGE is no longer a scrappy underdog. With a market cap already in the tens of billions, turning $100 into $10,000 here is nearly impossible. It’s the Bitcoin of meme coins: reliable, liquid, and still iconic, but its days of 1,000× gains are behind it. Shiba Inu (SHIB): Big Name, Slowing Engine Shiba Inu sits at $0.00001349 with a market cap of $7.6 billion. It’s clawed back momentum with a 3.98% monthly surge, and analysts project a further 9.26% weekly gain to $0.00001418. Token burns and the expansion of Shibarium, its Layer-2 solution, keep the ecosystem alive. That said, SHIB’s size is also its weakness. Even with whales accumulating another 62 billion tokens, growth projections hover in the 400%–500% range, which is impressive but pales in comparison to what early buyers saw in 2021. SHIB is in the odd position of being too big to vanish, but too large to repeat its breakout magic. Little Pepe (LILPEPE): The New Challenger SHIB grew on pure hype, but LILPEPE comes with real infrastructure. The project is building an Ethereum-compatible Layer-2 network designed for meme tokens, with near-zero fees, sniper-bot resistance, and…
