ZeroHash has added support for the Monad blockchain and USDC on Monad. The update, shared via The Block’s X account, extends the company’s stablecoin payment rails to a new Layer-1 network and centers on a simple pitch: faster settlement and lower-cost digital fund movement. ZeroHash was recently valued at $1 billion, giving the announcement extra weight in the infrastructure segment.
USDC payment rails move onto Monad
The immediate change is straightforward. Businesses and institutions using ZeroHash can now tap USDC on Monad for payment and settlement flows. The source frames this as part of a wider push to expand crypto payments, with stable assets taking a larger role in modern financial movement.
That matters because infrastructure providers are increasingly focused on making digital transactions easier for institutions to use, while also improving speed and cost efficiency. In that context, ZeroHash’s Monad integration is less about adding one more chain and more about extending the back-end rails that support payment activity.
What ZeroHash and Monad bring to the stack
ZeroHash operates behind the scenes for banks, fintech firms, brokerages, and digital platforms. It gives those companies tools to move funds through blockchain systems without building their own infrastructure from scratch. Transfers, settlement, and asset movement become easier to launch. The operational burden gets lighter.
Monad, by contrast, is a Layer-1 network built for high throughput and lower costs, with smart contract support and an emphasis on fast execution. The article compares its role to networks such as Ethereum and Solana, while stressing performance and scalability. Put together, the partnership strengthens the base for stablecoin payments, USDC payments, and broader blockchain payments infrastructure.
Businesses get access to real-time funding and cross-border flows
According to the source material, clients can launch stablecoin transaction flows without running nodes or securing separate regulatory approvals. The setup is designed to support real-time funding, cross-border transfers, B2B settlement, and on-chain commerce. Those are practical use cases, not abstract ones, and they sit close to where institutional payment demand is forming.
ZeroHash partners named in the report include prediction market platform Kalshi, HR management provider Gusto, and trading app Public. With Monad and USDC support in place, these firms can build payment experiences with less friction and spend less time dealing with technical and compliance complexity on the back end.
Executives focus on speed, reliability, and network expansion
Raj Parekh, who leads stablecoins and payments at the Monad Foundation, described the network as fast and reliable. He said its architecture can help expand everyday use of stable assets by enabling near-instant transaction completion, a point the article presents as critical for broader payment adoption.
ZeroHash Chief Business Officer Mark Daly said Ethereum still accounts for the largest share of stablecoin activity on the company’s platform, though engagement across other Layer-1 and Layer-2 networks is rising as stablecoins gain traction in payment and settlement use cases. He also said Monad’s technical design may allow transactions to be processed faster and at lower cost at scale. ZeroHash plans to add support for more stable assets on the network once they become available.
