Starlynk, a fintech firm in the blockchain cross-border payment infrastructure sector, Charger.ae, a global digital asset platform for retail and corporates, and Qantoz Payments, an electronic money institution (EMI) that issues regulated stablecoins, have inked a series of Memorandum of Understandings (MOUs) to extend cross-border stablecoin payment rails for retail and corporate clients across Europe, Asia and the UAE.
Shanghai Tang also penned MOUs with Quantoz and Starlynk to integrate stablecoin payments in physical boutiques and e-commerce platforms, making it the first luxury lifestyle brand to incorporate it in this way.
As part of the agreements, Starlynk and Changer.ae will facilitate AED on/oV ramp services to facilitate compliant cross-border stablecoin settlements, focusing on Asia, the Middle East, and Muslim-majority countries.
With the MOU, Starlynk and Quantoz will integrate their infrastructure to promote liquidity and circulation of stablecoins compliant with MiCA-regulation, and develop crossborder corridors connecting Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
Shanghai Tang, in partnership with Starlynk and Quantoz, will introduce stablecoin-based cross-border payment solutions for customers across multiple jurisdictions, including Hong Kong, Singapore, Europe and the US, delivering more digitally native luxury consumers additional ways to transact.
Changer.ae and Quantoz are seeking to form the first regulated UAE-Europe corridor for stablecoin-based trade and treasury solutions, linking Changer.ae’s regulated custody, conversion and escrow account services with Quantoz’s regulated electronic money and stablecoin infrastructure.
Hao Wang, founder of Changer.ae, says:“Enterprises need compliant, end-to-end rails between local currencies and regulated stablecoins. With these MOUs we are pairing AED on/oO-ramps, custody and escrow with settlement allowing importers, exporters and merchants to move value between the UAE and Europe with speed, clarity, and robust compliance.”
Arnoud Star Busmann, CEO of Quantoz Payments, adds:“We are proud that our stablecoin usage is continuing to expand and being adopted as a means of exchange. With Starlynk and Changer we aim to turn our regulated digital money into practical payment rails, and with Shanghai Tang we are literally taking this to the shop floor and checkout. EURQ and USDQ can now help merchants and enterprises settle faster and cheaper with more transparency and choice.”
