1Money Opens the Door to Custom Stablecoins Through a Regulated Issuance Model
1Money launches a regulated stablecoin issuance service with M0, enabling enterprises to create custom digital dollars at scale.
Stablecoin infrastructure is moving beyond one-size-fits-all models as 1Money announces a new issuance offering designed to give businesses direct control over how digital dollars are created, governed and distributed. Through a partnership with universal stablecoin platform M0, the company has launched what it calls “1Money Issuance,” a framework that allows stablecoins to be listed on 1Money.com and natively minted on the 1Money Network.
The initiative positions 1Money as a full-service gateway for fintech firms and enterprises seeking to issue their own stablecoins without building regulatory and technical foundations from scratch. Under the model, 1Money issues fully reserved digital dollars while providing the compliance, licensing and operational infrastructure required to deploy customized, interoperable tokens at scale.
Regulation sits at the center of the strategy. 1Money holds one of the largest money-transmitter licensing footprints in the United States among stablecoin infrastructure providers, a distinction it is now extending into issuance services. By embedding stablecoin creation within an existing regulatory framework, the company aims to address a persistent barrier to adoption for institutions that want exposure to digital dollars but remain wary of legal uncertainty.
Brian Shroder, co-founder and chief executive of 1Money, framed the launch as a response to growing enterprise demand for stablecoins that function within familiar financial guardrails. “Enterprises want stablecoins, but they want them with regulatory clarity, banking access, and operational control,” he said, adding that the integration with M0 allows 1Money to deliver those elements without locking clients into closed ecosystems or exposing them to single-provider risk. Shroder previously served as CEO of Binance.US and held senior roles at Ant Group and Uber, bringing both crypto and traditional finance experience to the venture.
From a technical perspective, the issuance service is built on M0’s stablecoin standards, which are designed to enable interoperability across issuers and applications. M0 has positioned itself as a digital money operating system, allowing financial institutions to deploy issuance capabilities quickly while remaining compatible with a broader ecosystem. Developers working on platforms such as MetaMask, Kast and Noble already build on M0’s standards, creating a network effect that benefits issuers adopting the same technology stack.
Luca Prosperi, chief executive of M0, described the partnership as a convergence of regulatory depth and interoperable infrastructure. He argued that the next phase of digital money depends on trusted service providers offering reliable foundations for application developers. By integrating with M0, 1Money adds compliance and operational maturity to a standardized issuance layer, a combination intended to lower barriers for fintech builders entering the stablecoin space.
The launch also reinforces 1Money’s broader ambition to serve as a vertically integrated infrastructure provider. Its ecosystem spans a purpose-built Layer-1 blockchain optimized for compliant stablecoin and real-world asset transactions, a regulated platform for custody and conversion of fiat and digital currencies, and now an institutional-grade issuance service for white-labeled stablecoins. Together, these components reflect a push to merge the rigor of traditional finance with the efficiency of Web3 settlement.
As regulatory scrutiny around stablecoins intensifies globally, issuance models that emphasize compliance, interoperability and choice are gaining traction. With 1Money Issuance, the company is betting that enterprises will prefer infrastructure that treats stablecoins not as speculative instruments, but as programmable extensions of regulated digital money.
