1Money is proud to announce its selection to the Mastercard Start Path Blockchain & Digital Assets Program, Mastercard's global startup engagement program dedicated to supporting high-potential companies fueling the future of digital finance through trusted, blockchain-powered innovation.

Today, money runs on a patchwork of decades-old legacy systems that are slow, expensive, and functionally static, making them incapable of supporting the next wave of innovation: digital, instant, low-cost, programmable, and agentic money. 1Money believes that blockchains and stablecoins are fundamentally changing the technology layers of money, making them cheaper, faster, and built for future use cases.

To create that future, 1Money has built the first vertically integrated financial stack, combining a global regulatory footprint, a proprietary Layer 1 network, tokenized issuance, and fiat and stablecoin orchestration into composable primitives. While each component stands on its own, together they form a fully integrated platform for global money movement.

1. 1Money Network — a Layer 1 blockchain purpose-built to be the fastest, cheapest, and most scalable network for stablecoin and RWA transactions
2. 1Money Issuance— an institutional-grade "Issuance-as-a-Service" solution that allows partners to launch white-labeled stablecoins for their own customers
3. 1Money.com — a licensed and regulated orchestration platform that enables users to receive, custody, buy, sell, convert, and send both stablecoins and fiat currencies globally via usage-based pricing

1Money's goal is to help connect traditional finance, fintech and Web3 into a more seamless global financial system. Achieving that may require money movement infrastructure to be rebuilt around the capabilities of modern digital assets while still meeting the expectations of regulated institutions: transparency, reliability, compliance, security and operational control.

Mastercard Start Path Blockchain & Digital Assets brings together startups working on new models across digital assets, blockchain infrastructure, crypto payments, and stablecoins and related use cases. Through the program, participants gain access to Mastercard's global network, partnerships, customers and subject matter expertise. Participation gives 1Money the opportunity to engage with Mastercard and the broader Start Path network while continuing to build trusted infrastructure for global money movement.

"Start Path has helped launch the world's first blockchain-powered cross-border remittance solution," said Brian Shroder, CEO and co-founder of 1Money. "That experience showed me how blockchain and stablecoins could make global money movement faster, cheaper and more accessible. Since then, I've focused on building the infrastructure to connect traditional finance, fintech and Web3 into one seamless global system."

Start Path companies are selected through a competitive global application process that prioritizes proven solutions, market traction, and strong founding teams. 1Money's selection reflects both the growing importance of stablecoin and digital asset infrastructure in the future of payments and the momentum behind 1Money's vertically integrated approach. For enterprises and regulated institutions, adoption will depend on trusted platforms that can bridge fiat and digital asset rails without compromising compliance, security or scalability — exactly the foundation 1Money is building.

1Money is excited to join this cohort and grateful to the Mastercard Start Path team for the opportunity.
