Building the Next Generation of Payment Services with Modern Stablecoin Infrastructure
Payment providers are redefining global commerce — expanding beyond traditional payment rails to include stablecoins, tokenized assets, and blockchain rails. As payment providers embrace stablecoins and digital assets, choosing the right infrastructure provider becomes essential not only for security, compliance, and scalability, but also for end-to-end product capabilities that support any payments use case.
Fireblocks powers this evolution. Trusted by 2,400+ businesses, including financial institutions, fintechs, PSPs, neobanks, remittance companies and merchants, Fireblocks offers reliable stablecoin infrastructure for the modern payments landscape.
The benefit of stablecoins for payments is in the ability to move and settle funds anywhere in the world in near-real time. Our infrastructure enables payment providers to hold, move, manage and issue stablecoins – all while maintaining enterprise-grade security and compliance controls.
As PSPs and B2B payment providers look to expand into this new era of payments and grow revenue from stablecoin offerings, our all-in-one platform ensures that businesses have everything they need to build their entire solution. That expansion can include: creating stablecoin payment accounts with our white-labeled Wallets-as-a-Service solution; integrating embedded wallets so that retail consumers can custody their own private keys; enabling instant merchant settlement with stablecoins; automating treasury and reconciliation workflows; and beyond. Fireblocks was built to expand alongside your business.
Stablecoins for Crypto PSPs
Create, Grow and Accelerate Business Opportunities
Many crypto-native payments businesses have outgrown their own in-house solution and need an infrastructure provider that can scale alongside their rapidly growing business. The big opportunity here lies in payments reliability and automation for quick time-to-market and rapid expansion, especially for stablecoin pay-ins and payouts.
The core driver for crypto PSPs is the right infrastructure with capabilities that enable them to lead and continue capturing market share for emerging blockchain payments trends and use cases, quickly and efficiently.
Fireblocks for Crypto PSPs
- Fireblocks has been a leader in developing the blockchain-based payments market for nearly a decade, with a global, interoperable payments network and a single suite of applications to build your business on the blockchain
- Automation rules eliminate manual and repetitive payment and treasury operations, and our no-code workflow builder lets you configure custom triggers, conditions, and events to automate daily tasks such as rebalancing accounts, sweeping wallets, converting tokens, or distributing payouts
- Multiple liquidity providers and exchanges are integrated into the Fireblocks platform for on/off-ramps and global connectivity, helping you to save resources by streamlining the management of multiple solution providers
- Purpose-built APIs to help you get to market quickly
- Wallets that you can structure to reflect your business operations
Stablecoins for Traditional PSPs
Respond to Client Demand
Global payment processors have been simplifying payment acceptance for decades, enabling merchants to accept payments in many different forms and currencies. As stablecoins proliferate the payments market, merchants are demanding stablecoin settlement. Additionally, there is a real competitive edge to be gained by offering newer crypto-native businesses settlement optionality in their asset class of choice. And due to the global nature of their business, there are jurisdictional regulatory requirements to consider as they integrate stablecoin payments. All of these nuances require a stablecoin payments provider that can help you easily manage and meet these expectations and demands at the infrastructure layer so that you can focus on your business and scale across geographies.
As licensing regimes are in varying stages and take time to obtain, traditional PSPs are increasingly looking for ways to enter the space without needing to be in the flow of funds. This means the majority are entering the stablecoin payments market with crypto remote solutions so that they can expedite time-to-market, partner with trusted industry experts and advisors who have the crypto and blockchain technical savvy, and offer stablecoin payment services without needing licenses—all while maintaining banking relationships.
Fireblocks for Traditional PSPs
- Ensure compliance, governance and policy enforcement with embedded compliance at the transaction layer, translating requirements across markets into a unified framework for AML/KYT, sanctions checks, travel rule, and more
- Reporting and reconciliation that can be integrated into existing fiat payment systems
- Wallets that you can structure to reflect your business operations
- Real-time tracking and monitoring of all your payment flows, so you have complete visibility and predictability into your digital asset settlements with fee calculations, time estimations, and FX rates
- Retain full control over the payments experience, including who you onboard, the flows you set up, etc.
- Work with a trusted expert and advisor who can help you navigate the ever-evolving stablecoin landscape
Stablecoins for B2B Payment Providers
Reduce Cost and Drive Efficiencies in Internal Operations
B2B payment providers serve businesses by collecting and disbursing cross-border payments in specific corridors where clients don’t have access to local payment rails. When it comes to serving B2B companies, these payment providers have a unique opportunity to be crypto-inside, obtaining licenses and remaining in the flow of funds to gain a competitive edge and better serve wholesalers, logistics, shipping, and more.
The stablecoin opportunity for B2B payment providers includes servicing new payment corridors, reducing the cost of transfers, and the ability to manage capital more efficiently.
