House of Doge and Paxos Strike Deal to Push Dogecoin Onto PayPal, Venmo and Interactive Brokers Rails
TradFi & Fintech
House of Doge, the corporate arm of the Dogecoin Foundation, and Paxos said Monday they will integrate Dogecoin into Paxos’s enterprise crypto brokerage and custody platform, in a June 1 announcement that puts the meme coin one product decision away from the consumer apps Paxos already serves.
The deal makes DOGE available across the Paxos enterprise stack — the same regulated rails Paxos cites as supporting PayPal, Venmo, Interactive Brokers and Mercado Libre, with Mastercard and Nubank also listed in the company’s enterprise roster. Each of those clients still has to choose whether to switch DOGE on for end users; the announcement is an infrastructure handoff, not a coordinated retail launch.
“This partnership with Paxos represents a major step forward in accelerating global access for Dogecoin,” Marco Margiotta, chief executive of House of Doge, said in the release. “By integrating with Paxos’ trusted and regulated infrastructure, we are creating a powerful pathway for leading global fintech platforms to make Dogecoin accessible to their users.”
The Paxos Rail
The integration runs on the same OCC-chartered national-trust-bank stack Paxos uses to issue PayPal USD and to power the white-label brokerage Interactive Brokers wired up in September 2021. Paxos handles custody, liquidity and compliance; the partner-facing app offers buy, sell, hold and send. The company converted to a full OCC national trust bank charter in December 2025 and operates regulated entities across the U.S., Singapore, Europe and Abu Dhabi Global Market.
“Paxos is committed to enabling safe and responsible access to digital assets through our regulated infrastructure,” Nick Robnett, head of crypto business at Paxos, said in the release. “We are thrilled to support the availability of DOGE on our platform and look forward to working with our enterprise clients as they evaluate expanding their digital asset offerings.”
The “evaluate” wording is load-bearing. Turning on a new asset is a per-client decision, and Interactive Brokers already supports DOGE trading after adding it alongside SOL, ADA and XRP — meaning for IBKR users the new integration reads more as a back-end consolidation than a fresh listing.
Where the Listing Lands First
The release does not name a rollout order or a date for any consumer app to enable DOGE. PayPal and Venmo currently offer a curated crypto menu — BTC, ETH, LTC, BCH and PYUSD — and would need to formally extend it. Mercado Libre, which uses Paxos rails to offer crypto across Latin America, is the largest non-U.S. footprint in the partner list and a plausible early adopter given its Brazilian and Argentine user base.
The deal slots into a wider push by House of Doge to build real-world payment surfaces for the asset. The foundation arm launched a beta of its Such app — a self-custodial DOGE wallet with merchant-facing QR-payment tooling — on May 25, is going public via a reverse merger with Brag House Holdings (NASDAQ:TBH) announced in October 2025, and saw the 21Shares Dogecoin ETF (TDOG) list in January. Margiotta, who co-founded Payfare before its 2025 acquisition by Fiserv, was installed as CEO of the corporate arm last June to drive that payments push.
What’s Still Optional
The announcement compresses the regulatory distance between DOGE and consumer-grade fintech to near zero — Paxos’s OCC charter, custody segregation and MiCA-compliant European entity already satisfy the bar most of its partner banks and brokerages set internally. What it does not do is force any of those partners to flip a switch.
For Dogecoin, the upside is asymmetric: the asset moves from piecemeal support on Robinhood, Coinbase and IBKR to sitting one product decision away from PayPal’s and Venmo’s combined retail base. For Paxos, adding DOGE rounds out the asset menu its enterprise clients can offer without expanding the company’s regulatory perimeter. Whether the partner apps actually light up DOGE buying — and how fast — is the next data point worth watching.
