Catenaa, Tuesday, February 17, 2026-Zerohash has added support for the Monad blockchain and USDC on Monad, expanding stablecoin payment capabilities across the Layer 1 network, the company said.
The integration allows zerohash clients, including Kalshi, Gusto and Public, to build stablecoin-based payment flows without operating blockchain infrastructure or securing separate regulatory licenses.
The setup is designed for real-time account funding, cross-border transfers, business-to-business settlement and onchain commerce.
Monad joins a growing list of blockchains supported by zerohash. USDC on Monad expands the company’s stablecoin offerings as competition intensifies among networks seeking to capture payment activity.
Raj Parekh, head of stablecoins and payments at the Monad Foundation, said the network’s performance profile supports near-instant finality and could help scale daily stablecoin usage.
Zerohash executives said Ethereum and its ecosystem currently represent the largest share of stablecoin volume on the platform.
However, activity across other Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks is increasing as stablecoins move deeper into payment and settlement use cases.
Founded in 2017, zerohash employs about 200 people across offices in New York, Chicago, North Carolina and Amsterdam.
The company raised $104 million in a Series D-2 round last year, bringing total funding to $275 million and lifting its valuation to $1 billion. Reports indicate it is in talks to raise additional capital at a higher valuation.
