Overview
- The two companies this week announced an exploratory partnership to study stablecoin-based cross-border payments, corporate fund movement and treasury infrastructure, plus ways to expand services built on Dunamu’s GIWA blockchain.
- The agreement is non-binding and focused on discovery: neither firm disclosed a launch date, financial terms, which stablecoins would be supported, or custody and settlement arrangements.
- MoonPay offers a global payments network and regulatory licenses in multiple jurisdictions, while Dunamu brings GIWA, an OP-Stack Ethereum Layer‑2 run with support from Optimism, and experience piloting bank and corporate use cases.
- Key technical and commercial questions the partners will test include custody design, transaction settlement flows, stablecoin choice, licensing across jurisdictions, and clear corporate customer demand.
- If the work proves viable, the collaboration could widen GIWA’s overseas access and change how companies move money across borders, but regulatory rules in South Korea and elsewhere and demonstrable business use will determine any rollout.
