OKX Money lets users save, earn 10% yield and spend dollar stablecoins in one app
In this news:
Key takeaways
- OKX launched an app letting users save, earn 10 percent yield, and spend dollar stablecoins.
- The product targets markets with volatile local currencies and limited dollar access.
- The move follows OKX securing a Maltese payments institution license earlier this year.
While others offer similar services, OKX’s app aims to target non-crypto users. Binance Pay also allows users to hold stablecoins, spend globally, earn passive yield and send cross-border payments with zero gas fees. Coinbase’s Coinbase One offers automated yield on USDC of up to 3.75% to 5%, depending on the membership and region. Bybit Card and Savings offers automatic conversions from fiat to stablecoins and global spending via a Mastercard-backed card.
Stablecoins as consumer products
OKX’s money app roll-out comes as exchanges and payments companies are increasingly trying to turn stablecoins into a familiar consumer product: a dollar balance that can be held, sent and spent, rather than a token used for trading. Tracked crypto-card-spending topped $1 billion this year, as companies compete to bring stablecoin balances into everyday purchases.
OKX, ranked third by Coingecko with a 24-hour trading volume of over $2.2 billion, is packaging those services for customers in markets where local currencies can be volatile and access to U.S.-dollar savings, global cards or cross-border payments are limited or costly. The product appears designed to keep the blockchain element abstracted or out of sight for users who simply want to hold digital dollars and use a card.
Consumer finance push
The new app also furthers OKX’s consumer-finance push after the exchange secured a Maltese payments-institution license this year to support European stablecoin and card services.
