Stablecoin payments are moving further up the financial stack. The last month brought new payment rails, institutional FX infrastructure, bank-issued stablecoins and even confidential stablecoins, with different projects pushing the sector beyond simple onchain transfers. Here’s a round up of the last month across Stablecoin payments and neofinance platforms. — ● @circle • Acquired @tazapay, a cross-border payments infrastructure provider • Launched Arc mainnet, an L1 built specifically around financial markets, payments and agentic commerce • Launched StableFX, a 24/7 institutional FX engine, on Arc mainnet • Launched Gateway Fast Deposit, a feature that reduces USDC cross-chain balance funding latency by up to 40x ● @reapglobal • Launched its Virtual Asset Ledger, allowing users to spend Bitcoin and other digital assets directly through card balances • Partnered with @Visa to bring stablecoin-enabled credit card programs and 24/7 settlement to over 100 markets ● @0xfairblock • CUSD, the first confidential stablecoin went live, built on PYUSDx ● @worldmoney • Launched World Money, a self-custodial financial super app ● @osldotcom • Partnered with Waka to provide stablecoin-to-USD conversion and USD payouts for emerging-markets ● @thekorahq • Launched One Rail, integrating stablecoin payments directly into its cross-border payment infrastructure ● @networkonsocial • Launched the UAE’s first in-store pilot to enable payments using DDSC, an AED-backed stablecoin ● @Daya_HQ • Integrated @SuiNetwork as settlement infrastructure for gasless stablecoin transfers across its payment products ● @wirexapp • Publicly launched @wirex_one, its stablecoin-focused neobank, on @arc ● @VolanteTech • Integrated USDC workflows into its payments platform through a partnership with Circle ● @Fiserv • Launched its Digital Asset Platform ● @marqeta • Partnered with @BVNKFinance to add stablecoin-backed card capabilities to its issuing platform ● @tether • Partnered with @FasanaraCapital to launch StableFund, a $400M private credit vehicle ● @PayPal • Partnered with @M0 and @moonpay to launch PYUSDx, a developer platform that lets businesses create custom stablecoins backed by PYUSD ● @coinbase • Partnered with @Moov to bring stablecoin acceptance, settlement and real-time funding to community banks and credit unions ● @openstandard • Open Standard’s OUSD went live ● @Visa • Visa’s stablecoin settlement volume crossed a $20B annualized run rate, up more than 15x YoY ● @usbank • Executed a live cross-border transaction using USBDC, its dollar-backed stablecoin ● @BVNKFinance • Integrated @StellarOrg into its stablecoin payments platform ● @binance Pay • Became available at PayPay merchants across Japan, allowing eligible visitors to spend crypto directly from their Binance accounts — September’s developments point to a clear shift that stablecoins are becoming infrastructure for financial products, not merely products themselves. If the last phase was about putting dollars onchain, this phase is about making those dollars useful everywhere.
