Stablecoin Standard Appoints Luther Maday to Stablecoin Partners
Luther Maday, a former executive at Worldpay and MoneyGram, has been appointed as CEO of Stablecoin Partners to support institutional education and adoption of stablecoins
LONDON — June 24, 2025 Stablecoin Standard, the global industry body advancing trusted and transparent stablecoin ecosystems, today announced the launch of Stablecoin Partners, a dedicated platform designed to accelerate the responsible growth of stablecoins through thought leadership, knowledge sharing, and expert-driven guidance. To lead this initiative, Luther Maday has been appointed CEO.
Stablecoin Partners will operate as an independent but aligned initiative within the broader Stablecoin Standard ecosystem. Its mission is to serve as a bridge between institutions and the stablecoin economy—amplifying credible insights, curating educational content, and facilitating connections between businesses and trusted subject-matter experts.
“Stablecoins represent a foundational shift in how money moves globally,” said Luther Maday, CEO of Stablecoin Partners. “Through this platform, we aim to help institutions navigate that shift, by providing relevant insights, engaging the right expertise, and building the connective tissue for real-world adoption.”
Maday brings over two decades of leadership in global payments, financial services, and blockchain infrastructure. His career began at NCR, where he implemented large-scale enterprise payment systems. He later held senior roles at Worldpay, leading strategic partnerships with banks and alternative payment providers across North America. At Bank of America, he played a key role in the post-Brexit expansion of merchant services and oversaw compliance with EBA and FCA regulatory frameworks. Most recently, at MoneyGram International, he led the launch of the company’s first crypto on/off-ramp and a non-custodial wallet initiative that earned industry recognition for innovation and inclusion.
He currently serves as Head of Payments at the Algorand Foundation, where he focuses on enabling stablecoin and real-world asset flows across decentralized infrastructure. At Stablecoin Partners, Maday’s role will focus on platform strategy and ecosystem building, providing neutral and unbiased guidance to clients across banking, fintech, non-profits, and the public sector.
Christian Walker, Co-Founder and Chairman of Stablecoin Standard, commented on the news: “We are pleased to welcome Luther to the SCS team, standing as another example of the leadership and vision we have been cultivating to bring stablecoins mainstream. With over a decade of experience in digital payments, blockchain innovation, and corporate growth, Luther’s appointment shows that our commitment to the establishment of the next phase of global digital finance is one that we very much intend on delivering on.”
