Morph, the Ethereum-based settlement layer purpose-built for payments, today announced the launch of its Payment Accelerator, a $150 million program designed to support payment companies bringing live, real-world transaction activity onchain.
Stablecoins are increasingly being adopted as a settlement rail for global commerce and cross-border transfers. Morph cited more than $27.6 trillion in stablecoin transaction volume processed in 2024 as evidence of accelerating demand for faster settlement, lower costs, and programmable payment flows. Despite this growth, the company noted that much of today’s payment infrastructure remains fragmented, relying on multi-step processes that slow reconciliation and constrain working capital.

The Payment Accelerator is structured across multiple funding tracks intended to align support with a company’s stage of deployment. Participants may access meaningful grant funding, performance-based incentives, and liquidity support that scale from early production through higher-volume deployments, based on achieved milestones and operational needs. The program focuses on high-impact Network Verticals where onchain payment adoption is already emerging at scale, including crypto cards, cross-border remittance, and merchant payment gateways.
“Payments represent the largest and most immediate opportunity for onchain adoption,” said Colin Goltra, CEO of Morph. “The Payment Accelerator is about giving serious operators the infrastructure, incentives, and ecosystem access they need to move real money onchain at scale. We expect the companies participating in this program to become long-term builders and leaders within the Morph ecosystem.”
Eligibility is focused on teams with near-term readiness for production. Applicants are expected to have a working MVP or live product, a clear fit within one of the program’s focus verticals, and the operational capacity to launch and report measurable activity. Priority will be given to operators that can demonstrate existing scale, such as meaningful monthly processed volume or established transaction throughput, as well as teams with signed pilots where post-launch activity can be verified.
Infrastructure providers applying to the accelerator are expected to demonstrate production-grade integrations, a defined security posture, and a delivery plan that directly enables payment settlement on Morph. All participants must meet compliance requirements for real-user payment flows, including alignment with KYC and AML standards and applicable jurisdictional operating constraints.
Accelerator participants will receive access to production settlement infrastructure alongside coordinated go-to-market support. Payment platforms deploying on Morph will also be able to integrate with Bitget and Bitget Wallet, enabling distribution across a combined ecosystem of more than 120 million users.
Applications are now open, with pilot partners already in progress across the program’s target verticals. Additional partner announcements and program updates are expected in the coming months.
