"Global payments are evolving toward a future that is faster, interoperable, and always on. Initiatives like the Avalanche Payments Collective represent an important step toward bringing together the infrastructure, liquidity, and connectivity needed to power the next generation of global value movement. At Axiym, we’re excited to contribute to that evolution and help accelerate real-world blockchain-powered payments infrastructure."

Axiym

"Our work with Avalanche has demonstrated the importance of robust, purpose-built blockchain infrastructure in supporting institutional digital asset adoption. Through the integration of The Benji Technology Platform, we've seen firsthand how Avalanche is helping enable new opportunities as demand grows for on-chain financial services and blockchain-integrated payments innovation."

Roger Bayston

Head of Digital Assets Ecosystem Development

Franklin Templeton

"Payments are one of the clearest and most important use cases for digital dollars. As stablecoins become a core part of the global financial system, the underlying infrastructure must support high throughput, fast finality, and real-world scale. Avalanche has built an ecosystem focused on exactly that, and we're excited to join the Avalanche Payments Collective to help accelerate the adoption of internet-native dollars in everyday payments."

Guy Young

Founder & CEO

Ethena

"We're excited to join the Avalanche Payments Collective as the future of real-world stablecoin adoption depends on reliable, global infrastructure that's ready for real enterprise use cases," said Peter Jonas, Chief Revenue Officer at Paxos. "Together, we see an opportunity to make moving money more efficient, more transparent and more accessible for businesses and their customers worldwide."

"Avalanche has made a clear bet on institutional-grade payments infrastructure and we believe in that bet."

Nick van Eck

CEO & Co-founder

Agora

"Global commerce demands payments that are private by default and compliant by design. Avalanche gave SETTL the foundation to deliver exactly that by pairing complete commercial confidentiality with sub-second finality and zero network congestion. The Avalanche Payments Collective is the perfect launchpad for the next generation of secure, universal enterprise payments."

Nick Mussallem

CEO

Settl

"Payments are where blockchain stops being theoretical. The infrastructure being built on Avalanche moves real value across borders today, with the compliance and reliability institutions actually require. VanEck has backed Avalanche as a network defined by real-world utility, and the Payments Collective is exactly the kind of proof point that view was built on."

Kyle DaCruz

Director of Digital Asset Products

VanEck

"The future of payments isn't being built on legacy rails. It's being settled on-chain, in real time, without borders. Joining the Avalanche Payments Collective as a founding member is a natural step for Rise. We've always believed stablecoins are the backbone of global commerce, and Avalanche gives us the infrastructure to prove it at scale."

Hugo Finkelstein

CEO & Co-founder

Rise

"We build on Avalanche because speed is non-negotiable in payments and it delivers consistently. That performance is what powers our platform, from stablecoin card purchases around the world to cross-border B2B payments and remittances, plus marketplace and payroll payouts and more. Avalanche helps our partners move and spend tokenized money globally, which is exactly the future we're building toward."

Charles Yoo-Naut

Co-founder & CTO

Rain

"The Avalanche ecosystem has built the rails moving value across borders faster than ever. AeraTech completes that picture from the inside. Our platform gives group treasury real-time visibility into global cash and continuously and optimally nets intercompany obligations. Offsetting positions then settle on our ledger, stopping liquidity from being trapped between entities. Cash that once sat frozen between a company's own subsidiaries becomes liquidity the business can put to work in real time. We're proud to be a founding member and to help build the treasury layer of the Avalanche payments stack."

Lucía Gallardo

Co-founder

AeraTech

"We chose Avalanche because it's where serious payments infrastructure is being built. The combination of global reach and institutional-grade reliability is what our customers need and what the industry has been waiting for."

Jerald David

CEO

Lynq

"Real-world payments need infrastructure that is fast, open, and interoperable. Through the Avalanche Payments Collective, StraitsX is excited to work alongside leading payment innovators to scale real-world use cases on high-performance blockchain infrastructure."

Daniel Oon

Head of Ecosystem

StraitsX

"The Frontier Stable Token was designed to support low-cost, transparent transactions for the citizens of Wyoming and beyond, while demonstrating the real-world utility of public-sector digital assets. Joining the Avalanche Payments Collective as a founding member reflects the Commission’s commitment to advancing compliant, on-chain payment infrastructure that can move value efficiently, securely, and at scale."

Anthony Apollo

Executive Director

Wyoming Stable Token Commission

"The convergence of payments and digital asset-based treasury management is creating new opportunities for institutions. Avalanche's scalable infrastructure enables the efficient movement of capital, while tokenized yield-bearing assets have the potential to make cash held within payment and settlement workflows more productive. We believe this is an important step toward a more efficient and capital-aware financial system, and we're excited to be a founding member of the Avalanche Payments Collective."

Maredith Hannon

Head of Business Development, Digital Assets

WisdomTree

"Avalanche’s long-term vision for real-world assets and proven onchain operating history make them the perfect partner for Grove’s institutional credit infrastructure. Combining our capital allocation engine with Avalanche’s high‑performance blockchain and Centrifuge’s deep pipeline of tokenized assets lays the foundation for a new era of scalable, onchain credit markets."

Mark Phillips

Co-founder

Grove Labs

Avalanche is helping create the foundation for that future, and we're excited to be a part of the Avalanche Payments Collective. At zerohash, we see stablecoins and blockchain networks becoming core financial rails, making it easier for businesses, platforms, and eventually AI agents to move money as seamlessly as information moves today."

Mark Daly

Chief Business Officer

zerohash

Ludovic Gilbert

"The future of B2B payments depends on infrastructure that is transparent, interoperable, and built for trust at scale. We're proud to join the Avalanche Payments Collective as a founding member and to build on Avalanche to bring greater clarity and confidence to capital markets and supply chains. As payments move toward an increasingly automated and agentic future, a strong, verifiable trust foundation becomes essential—and Avalanche provides exactly the kind of fast, open infrastructure that makes that future possible."

John Jordan

Co-founder & CTO

OatFi

"Payments are one of the clearest paths to mainstream blockchain adoption because they solve a real problem for businesses and consumers today. At Core, we're focused on bridging the gap between blockchain infrastructure and everyday commerce through products that make onchain transactions intuitive and trustworthy. The Avalanche Payments Collective brings together the builders driving that transformation, and we're proud to help shape a future where global commerce moves faster, more efficiently, and increasingly onchain."
