MoonPay did not immediately respond to Cointelegraph’s request for comment to confirm the deal’s details.\nThe move expands MoonPay’s business beyond retail crypto payments and reflects rising demand from traditional finance companies for secure wallet and custody infrastructure as they expand into digital assets.\nThe unit will be led by Caroline Pham, who joined MoonPay as its chief legal officer and chief administrative officer in December after serving as acting chair of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission before joining MoonPay in late 2025.\nSource: MoonPay\n\nAptos says its new privacy coin seeks to fix one of crypto’s biggest trade-offs\n\nAptos Labs founding engineer Sherry Xiao said Aptos’ newly introduced privacy coin could fix a long-standing trade-off between protecting user privacy and preserving transparency for compliance.\n“Confidential APT” launched on the Aptos mainnet on Friday after a governance proposal to integrate the privacy feature passed in a near-unanimous vote. It uses zero-knowledge proofs to conceal token balances and transfer amounts while still enabling transactions to be verified.\nSource: Aptos\nWhile blockchains offer a level of transparency that most traditional ledgers do not, the lack of privacy has slowed individual and enterprise adoption due to the risk of exposing financially sensitive information.\nIn an interview with Cointelegraph, Xiao said Confidential APT — which is pegged 1:1 to Aptos (APT) — reduces the risks of users being subjected to wallet profiling or targeted scams:\n\n    “Portfolio sniping, social pressure from visible holdings, personal safety — these are pain points people feel today.”\n\nXiao said the Confidential APT token solves an active problem in the workplace, too.\n“If a company runs payroll on-chain with visible amounts, every employee's salary is permanently public — to coworkers, competitors, recruiters, everyone,” she said.\n“Same with treasury moves, settlement flows, trading strategies,” Xiao said, noting that blockchain’s lack of privacy is an “operational dealbreaker” for many businesses.\nHowever, “Confidential balances solve that directly,” Xiao said.\n\nPaystand launches Bitcoin-based stablecoin USDb for enterprise payments\n\nPaystand is launching USDb, a US dollar-backed stablecoin built on Bitcoin-linked infrastructure for use in business payments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll and treasury operations.\nAccording to Tuesday's announcement, the token is issued on Bitcoin-linked rails, including Rootstock, and interoperates with infrastructure from Blockstream. It will roll out first across Paystand’s payments network, which the company says has processed more than $20 billion in volume for over one million businesses.\nSanta Cruz, California-based Paystand is a blockchain payments company that provides accounts receivable and accounts payable infrastructure to businesses across North America and Latin America.\nThe stablecoin is launching with support from Rootstock, Blockstream and Ibex, which will act as its initial minting partner and liquidity provider, and is designed to be compatible with Bitcoin-based networks such as the Lightning Network and Liquid.\nTotal stablecoin market cap.
