DCSPay has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with South Korea-based Nexus to evaluate the use of token payments and stablecoin settlements across the CROSS blockchain ecosystem, as both companies seek to accelerate the adoption of digital assets in gaming and digital commerce.
The partnership will explore integrating CROSS token payments and stablecoin settlements across the CROSS ecosystem, enabling merchants and users to conduct transactions using digital assets.
Nexus, a KOSDAQ-listed company, operates the CROSS blockchain gaming ecosystem and has been expanding its presence in Web3 gaming and digital content. The agreement comes as the company advances its broader growth strategy following its move to acquire an approximately 89% controlling stake in ONE Store, one of South Korea’s leading mobile application marketplaces with more than 38 million users.
Under the memorandum, DCSPay and Nexus will jointly examine support for payments using the CROSS token and CROSSD while also evaluating settlement through major stablecoins, including USDT and USDC. If implemented, the initiative could provide merchants and consumers participating in the CROSS ecosystem with additional payment options based on blockchain technology.
DCSPay operates as a stablecoin payment platform backed by DCS Group through its subsidiary, DCS Fintech (Hong Kong) Limited. The company focuses on providing payment infrastructure that enables businesses to accept and settle digital asset transactions while maintaining regulatory compliance.
Companies target broader blockchain payment adoption
DCSPay indicated that the collaboration aligns with its strategy of expanding blockchain payment infrastructure into industries with significant consumer engagement. The company stated that Nexus has developed one of Asia’s most promising digital ecosystems and explained that becoming the payment infrastructure partner for the CROSS platform would support efforts to deliver secure and compliant digital payment services to a large user base.
The company also noted that blockchain gaming is increasingly demonstrating practical commercial applications for digital assets. It added that integrating payment infrastructure into gaming ecosystems could help bring cryptocurrency-based transactions to millions of users while improving accessibility and transaction efficiency.
The collaboration also includes evaluating stablecoin-based payment infrastructure that could connect blockchain gaming platforms with merchants through regulated digital payment services.
Beyond token payments, both companies will assess additional opportunities across the broader DCS Group payments ecosystem. These discussions are expected to include the potential introduction of card programs and other financial services that could complement blockchain-based payment solutions and expand payment options available to businesses and consumers.

Focus extends beyond gaming
Nexus explained that its long-term objective is to make blockchain technology more practical by extending its use beyond purely digital environments. The company stated that working with DCSPay would allow it to examine new payment experiences capable of linking the CROSS ecosystem with merchants and consumers through trusted payment infrastructure, supporting wider commercial adoption of blockchain technology.
The partnership builds on Nexus’ continued investment in blockchain gaming infrastructure. The company launched the CROSS Gamechain in 2025 and has since developed a range of supporting services, including developer tools, digital wallets, marketplaces, and blockchain explorers designed for gaming applications.
By combining Nexus’ blockchain gaming ecosystem with DCSPay‘s stablecoin payment infrastructure, the companies aim to accelerate the practical use of digital assets in consumer-facing applications.
While the memorandum primarily establishes a framework for collaboration, it signals growing interest in integrating blockchain-based payments into mainstream digital ecosystems. As stablecoins continue gaining traction for commercial transactions, partnerships between payment providers and blockchain platform operators are increasingly focused on creating payment networks that combine regulatory compliance with greater accessibility for merchants, developers, and end users.
The companies did not disclose a timeline for implementing the proposed payment capabilities, but the agreement marks an initial step toward evaluating how digital assets and stablecoins can be incorporated into the expanding CROSS ecosystem and its associated digital services.
