Exodus Movement, Inc. announced the launch of Exodus Pay, a new feature integrated into its existing app that allows users to spend, send, and manage digital assets like USD-backed stablecoins and Bitcoin with full self-custody. Available initially in select US states with a full national rollout planned, Exodus Pay enables users to pay anywhere Visa or Apple Pay is accepted, send money instantly without fees, and earn rewards based on app activity. The product aims to provide faster, fee-free transactions while allowing users to retain full control of their funds. This launch follows Exodus' strong 2025 financial results and positions the company to leverage the growing stablecoin market under new regulatory frameworks.

Key Points

  • Exodus Pay integrates digital asset spending, sending, and management with self-custody in one app available on multiple platforms.
  • Users can pay at any merchant accepting Visa or Apple Pay without requiring crypto knowledge and send money instantly with no fees.
  • The product leverages recent regulatory clarity from the GENIUS Act and targets the growing $300 billion stablecoin market.
  • This launch establishes a new recurring and scalable revenue stream for Exodus, strengthening its position in the financial software and crypto payment sector.

OMAHA, Neb., April 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Exodus Movement, Inc. (NYSE American: EXOD) (“Exodus”) today announced the launch of Exodus Pay, which lets users spend, send, and manage digital assets while retaining full control of their money. Exodus Pay is available today on iOS, Android, and desktop in select states including Nebraska, Texas, Florida, New York, and California, with full national rollout through April.

Exodus Pay is built for people who want their money to move faster without fees, while retaining control. Users manage USD-backed stablecoins in a self-custodial wallet, with private keys stored on their device.

“We spent a decade building a wallet that millions of people trust with their crypto,” said JP Richardson, Co-Founder and CEO of Exodus. “Now, we are creating the last financial app you will ever need, letting anyone pay with digital dollars, Bitcoin, and other borderless digital assets without ever leaving self-custody.”

Product Overview
Exodus Pay is integrated directly into the Exodus app. At launch, users can:

  • Spend anywhere. Pay at any merchant that accepts Visa cards or Apple Pay. No crypto knowledge required.
  • Send money instantly. Transfer funds using a phone number without any fees.
  • Earn rewards. Get rewards based on their app activity.
  • Control their digital assets. Access digital dollars, Bitcoin, and crypto—all in one app. The user holds the keys every step of the way.

Why Self-Custody Differentiates Exodus
Major payments apps today require users to deposit money into an account the company controls. If the company freezes the account, the money is frozen. If the company goes down, access goes with it.

Exodus Pay works differently. Funds stay in users’ control through self-custody. This is the model Exodus pioneered for crypto, now applied to digital asset payments.

“After record-breaking 2025 earnings, Exodus Pay opens a revenue stream we've been building toward that is recurring, scalable, and fully ours,” said James Gernetzke, CFO at Exodus. “We're assembling the infrastructure to own the payments process end-to-end so the experience is seamless and the economics stay with Exodus and its shareholders.”

The stablecoin market surpassed $300 billion in circulation in 2025, and the GENIUS Act established the first comprehensive regulatory framework for stablecoin issuers last July. Exodus Pay is among the first consumer crypto products to go live in the post-GENIUS Act era.

Exodus Pay is available now at exodus.com/pay. Global expansion is planned for later in 2026, subject to applicable regulatory considerations.
