Exodus Launches Exodus Pay to Let Users Spend, Send, and Earn Rewards from One App
Exodus Pay gives users a single app to spend with merchants, send money instantly, and earn rewards, all while keeping full custody
OMAHA, Neb., April 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Exodus Movement, Inc. (NYSE American: EXOD) (“Exodus”) today announced the launch of Exodus Pay, which lets users spend, send, and manage digital assets while retaining full control of their money. Exodus Pay is available today on iOS, Android, and desktop in select states including Nebraska, Texas, Florida, New York, and California, with full national rollout through April.
Exodus Pay is built for people who want their money to move faster without fees, while retaining control. Users manage USD-backed stablecoins in a self-custodial wallet, with private keys stored on their device.
“We spent a decade building a wallet that millions of people trust with their crypto,” said JP Richardson, Co-Founder and CEO of Exodus. “Now, we are creating the last financial app you will ever need, letting anyone pay with digital dollars, Bitcoin, and other borderless digital assets without ever leaving self-custody.”
Product Overview
Exodus Pay is integrated directly into the Exodus app. At launch, users can:
- Spend anywhere. Pay at any merchant that accepts Visa cards or Apple Pay. No crypto knowledge required.
- Send money instantly. Transfer funds using a phone number without any fees.
- Earn rewards. Get rewards based on their app activity.
- Control their digital assets. Access digital dollars, Bitcoin, and crypto—all in one app. The user holds the keys every step of the way.
Why Self-Custody Differentiates Exodus
Major payments apps today require users to deposit money into an account the company controls. If the company freezes the account, the money is frozen. If the company goes down, access goes with it.
Exodus Pay works differently. Funds stay in users’ control through self-custody. This is the model Exodus pioneered for crypto, now applied to digital asset payments.
“After record-breaking 2025 earnings, Exodus Pay opens a revenue stream we've been building toward that is recurring, scalable, and fully ours,” said James Gernetzke, CFO at Exodus. “We're assembling the infrastructure to own the payments process end-to-end so the experience is seamless and the economics stay with Exodus and its shareholders.”
The stablecoin market surpassed $300 billion in circulation in 2025, and the GENIUS Act established the first comprehensive regulatory framework for stablecoin issuers last July. Exodus Pay is among the first consumer crypto products to go live in the post-GENIUS Act era.
Exodus Pay is available now at exodus.com/pay. Global expansion is planned for later in 2026, subject to applicable regulatory considerations.
