TL;DR:
- Movement and Zoth signed an agreement to build a payments corridor with a target of $1 billion in combined volume.
- Zoth will integrate its zVaults into the Movement network, offering yields of up to 12% backed by investment-grade assets.
- The infrastructure will target emerging markets in South Asia, Southeast Asia and MENA, with coverage across all 50 U.S. states.
Movement and Zoth signed an agreement to build a cross-border payments corridor and an institutional vault infrastructure with a target of one billion dollars in volume. The alliance seeks to turn the static stablecoin balances held by hundreds of millions of users in emerging markets into productive assets with institutional-grade yield.
Global stablecoin circulation exceeds $320 billion and transaction volume reached $33 trillion in 2025, yet most of those funds generate no yield. In markets like Buenos Aires, Lagos or Istanbul, where local currencies have steadily lost value, stablecoins function as a dollar savings account. The problem is that a static dollar keeps eroding against inflation.
Zoth is now our native RWA yield layer.
Any fintech, neobank, or payment provider building on Movement can now offer their users institutional-grade yield on stablecoin holdings.

Movement: Yields at the Infrastructure Level
Zoth brings to the ecosystem its zVaults, yield vaults backed by investment-grade credit instruments — specifically Brazilian credit card receivables settled through Visa and Mastercard. Yield reaches up to 12%, with projections of up to 16% with active boosters, no lock-up periods and standard redemption windows of between one and five days. The Baa3 rating, a track record of 0% delinquency and full currency hedging toward the dollar via non-deliverable forwards complete the product’s risk profile.
Movement contributes the distribution layer: the chain, the liquidity and the partner network that bring those yields to end users. Fintechs, neobanks and payment providers building on Movement will be able to offer these products without needing to structure the underlying assets. Custody operates via MPC through FORDEFI. Smart contracts are audited and risk monitoring is conducted in real time.
Zoth Holds Multiple Licenses and an International Footprint
Zoth already processes more than $400 million in payments volume across South Asia, Southeast Asia and the MENA region. Through its partnership with Bakkt and now with Movement, it operates across all 50 U.S. states and recently obtained a Money Services Business license in Canada. The second phase of the agreement will activate cross-border payment settlement through the highest-volume remittance corridors in those regions, where Movement will serve as the preferred settlement backend for both the vaults and the payment products.
