Starlynk Group, the fintech firm focused on blockchain based cross-border payment infrastructure, Changer.ae, the global digital asset platform for retail and corporates, and Quantoz Payments have signed a series of Memorandum of Understandings (MOUs) to expand cross-border stablecoin payment rails for retail and corporate clients across Europe, Asia, and the UAE.

On the same day, Shanghai Tang has signed Memorandum of Understandings (MOUs) with Quantoz and Starlynk to become the first international luxury lifestyle brand to integrate stablecoin payments in designated physical boutiques and e-commerce platforms.

Together these MOUs and partnerships will move stablecoins from concepts to real world payment rails across retail point-of-sale, e-commerce and B2B settlement corridors. This milestone builds on Quantoz’s launch of EURQ, USDQ and EURD last year, marking the next step in expanding its global payments network. By connecting regulated stablecoin issuance with partners across Europe, Asia and the Middle East, Quantoz is delivering an end-to-end settlement solution that is instant, compliant and cost eVective for global businesses.

Under the agreements:
 

• As per the MOUs, Starlynk and Changer.ae will facilitate AED on/oV ramp services to enable compliant cross-border stablecoin settlements, focusing on
Asia, the Middle East, and Muslim-majority countries.

• Starlynk and Quantoz will integrate their infrastructure to promote liquidity and circulation of stablecoins compliant with MiCA-regulation, and develop crossborder corridors connecting Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
• Changer.ae and Quantoz are looking to build the first regulated UAE-Europe corridor for stablecoin-based trade and treasury solutions, combining Changer.ae’s regulated custody, conversion and escrow account services with Quantoz’s regulated electronic money and stablecoin infrastructure.
• Shanghai Tang, in collaboration with Starlynk and Quantoz, will implement stablecoin-based cross-border payment solutions (including EURQ and USDQ) for customers across multiple jurisdictions, including Hong Kong, Singapore, Europe and the US, providing more digitally native luxury consumers with new ways to transact.

Frank Sui, CEO at Starlynk Group, added:

“These announcements showcase the strength of our fintech and blockchain expertise, and prove that stablecoins are becoming trusted cross-border method of payment. By connecting our infrastructure with Quantoz and Changer’s regulated stablecoins, and deploying with a flagship brand like Shanghai Tang, we are delivering faster, compliant payment experiences across Europe, Asia and the Middle East.”
 

Hao Wang, SEO at Changer.ae, added:

“Enterprises need compliant, end-to-end rails between local currencies and regulated stablecoins. With these MOUs we are pairing AED on/oO-ramps, custody and escrow with settlement allowing importers, exporters and merchants to move value between the UAE and Europe with speed, clarity, and robust compliance.”

Arnoud Star Busmann, CEO of Quantoz Payments, said:

“We are proud that our stablecoin usage is continuing to expand and being adopted as means of exchange. With Starlynk and Changer we aim to turn our regulated digital money into practical payment rails, and with Shanghai Tang we are literally taking this to the shop floor and checkout. EURQ and USDQ can now help merchants and enterprises settle faster and cheaper with more transparency and choice.”
