Exodus Brings Stablecoin Payments to Everyday Commerce, Debuting With DIRECTV’s DGO in Latin America

Exodus Movement, Inc. (NYSE American: EXOD) (“Exodus”) today launched Exodus Checkout, a new merchant payments solution that enables businesses to accept dollar stablecoins — digital tokens designed to track the value of the US dollar — from their customers. The product is debuting through a partnership with DGO, DIRECTV’s streaming platform for Latin America, where eligible customers can now pay for their subscriptions with digital dollars.

The launch marks a further expansion of Exodus’ business. The company, whose wallet allows individuals to store, send, and spend their digital assets, is now building the infrastructure that gives businesses the opportunity to accept digital asset payments from their customers. In practical terms, that moves stablecoins beyond wallet-to-wallet transfers and into checkout flow for everyday services — in this case, a streaming subscription. The integration begins in Argentina, with plans to expand across Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Uruguay, and Ecuador.

“Exodus was built to give people a better experience using their money, with more control and less friction,” said JP Richardson, CEO and Co-founder of Exodus. “Exodus Checkout extends that to everyday commerce by embedding stablecoin payments into experiences people already enjoy. Launching with DGO shows how digital dollars can become everyday money.”

Dollar stablecoins have already seen growing adoption across Latin America, particularly in markets where consumers face currency volatility — a backdrop that makes Argentina, the first stop in the rollout, a telling starting point. Exodus Checkout makes it simple for customers to send these dollar stablecoins directly from their wallets to merchants.

“Our job is to keep making DGO simpler and more relevant to how people across Latin America live today,” said Federico Suarez Director of OTT Platform Marketing at Waiken ILW. “As the way consumers manage and spend money evolves, the payment experience should evolve with it. Adding stablecoin payments gives customers another way to subscribe to the entertainment they love without changing the experience they already know.”

At the DGO checkout, eligible customers can select stablecoins as their payment method and initiate transactions directly from their wallets. Exodus Checkout supports both one-time and recurring stablecoin payments — the latter being the billing model on which subscription services such as DGO run.

For now, the rollout covers one merchant and one market. The pace of expansion across the seven additional countries named in the plan will show how far dollar stablecoins travel from crypto-native wallets into the region’s everyday commerce.
