Exodus launches stablecoin checkout with DIRECTV’s DGO

Exodus Movement has launched Exodus Checkout, a merchant payments solution that lets businesses accept dollar stablecoins, with DIRECTV’s DGO as the first partner. Eligible customers on DGO’s streaming platform in Latin America can now pay for subscriptions with digital dollars.

The rollout starts in Argentina, with plans to expand across Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Uruguay and Ecuador. At checkout, eligible customers can choose stablecoins as their payment method and send the payment directly from their wallet.

Exodus said the product extends its business beyond letting individuals store, send and spend digital assets, and into infrastructure that allows businesses to accept digital asset payments from customers. The company said Exodus Checkout supports one-time and recurring stablecoin payments.

JP Richardson, Exodus’s CEO and co-founder, said: “Exodus was built to give people a better experience using their money, with more control and less friction.” He added: “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.”

Federico Suarez, Director of OTT Platform Marketing at Waiken ILW, said: “Our job is to keep making DGO simpler and more relevant to how people across Latin America live today.” He added: “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.”
