Monad Foundation has acquired Portal Labs, the team behind Portal, an embedded stablecoin wallet infrastructure platform, to bring a full-stack payments solution to the Monad blockchain network.
Portal CEO and Co-Founder Raj Parekh will join the Monad Foundation as Head of Payments and Stablecoins to drive stablecoin ecosystem adoption.
Portal will continue to operate independently as a subsidiary of the Monad Foundation, leveraging the high-throughput Monad blockchain to accelerate stablecoin payments development.
The acquisition aims to grow the market for onchain payments and stablecoin issuance by combining Monad's scalability with Portal's stablecoin settlement capabilities.
