Digital assets payments platform BVNK has partnered with cross-border payment services provider LianLian Global to introduce stablecoin payment capabilities to LianLian Global’s network of merchants in more than 100 countries.
The integration allows LianLian Global merchants to fund cross-border transactions using major stablecoins, reducing settlement times from days to minutes. The companies said the capability is particularly valuable for businesses in regions where traditional banking infrastructure faces limitations or delays.
The partnership combines LianLian Global’s merchant network and local currency expertise with BVNK’s stablecoin infrastructure and auto-conversion technology. When merchants deposit stablecoins, BVNK automatically converts them into U.S. dollars, which LianLian Global then routes through its global payment network.
“Stablecoins have emerged as a powerful global settlement tool,” said Adora Wang, Chief Executive Officer of LianLian Europe. “By partnering with BVNK, we're meeting growing demand for stablecoin payment rails, helping our customers in ecommerce, marketplaces and other sectors to boost liquidity and execute cross-border payouts in 130 currencies with unprecedented efficiency.”
Jesse Hemson-Struthers, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of BVNK, said: “Stablecoins are reshaping global finance. Through this partnership, LianLian Global’s merchants can transform idle digital assets into instant cross-border payment fuel.”
