A consortium including Matera, Payfinia and Solana Foundation gave the first live public demonstration of X9.150, a U.S. QR code payment standard approved in July 2026 by ANSI's Accredited Standards Committee X9, at Money20/20 USA. The demo showed a single invoice QR code letting customers pay via FedNow, RTP, or USDC on Solana using the Squads Altitude wallet, with funds arriving in seconds and ERP records updating automatically. The standard also supports ACH, Zelle and stablecoins. Matera open-sourced reference software; Payfinia tested a compliance workflow with Star One Credit Union. The demo is not a product launch, and participants are inviting more institutions to pilot the standard.
