Morse

“Can a stablecoin-native cross-border wallet replace fragmented bank accounts for the globally mobile workforce?”

The story

Morse (formerly Sling Money) is built by Avian Labs to serve expats, freelancers, and remote workers who earn in one currency and live in another. The product has evolved from a basic cross-border transfer app into a stablecoin-native financial account: users hold 40+ currencies, receive USD and EUR via virtual accounts powered by Bridge, settle on Solana via USDC/EURC/USDP, and spend globally on a Visa debit card. The European entity obtained MiCAR authorisation in 2026, reflecting a regulatory-first approach to crypto-asset services as stablecoin rails become central to the product.
