Users will be able to spend stablecoins anywhere cards are accepted, send money using a phone number and earn rewards for holding and spending balances. Importantly, Exodus said in a press release that all of this is built on self-custody, meaning users hold the keys to their money.
The app's design leans into what Exodus sees as a generational shift. More people, especially younger users, are opting out of traditional banks and looking for flexible ways to use digital money in real life. By anchoring this experience in stablecoins, Exodus said it hopes to reduce the friction that’s historically come with crypto payments.
The rollout starts early next year, with a waitlist now open.
