Fireblocks has launched the Fireblocks Network for Payments, a comprehensive infrastructure designed to power stablecoin payments across more than 100 countries. The platform aims to address the fragmented landscape of digital currency payments by uniting local payment rails, blockchains, and stablecoin systems through unified APIs and workflows.
The network brings together over 40 providers including Alfred, Banxa, Bridge, Braza Bank, B2C2, Circle, Conduit, dLocal, GSR, NexChange, Nonco, OpenPayd, Pave Bank, QCP, Reap, SCRYPT Digital, Singapore Gulf Bank, Sygnum, Transak, Transfero, Velocity, Yellow Card, Zerocap, Zerohash, and Zodia Markets.
“Fireblocks is the backbone of stablecoin payments. By introducing unified APIs and workflows, and APIs purpose-built for stablecoin use cases, the Fireblocks Network for Payments gives institutions the ability to move value securely across every provider, blockchain, or fiat rail.”
Michael Shaulov, CEO and Co-founder of Fireblocks
The platform addresses significant implementation barriers facing financial institutions seeking to activate and scale stablecoin payments. Currently, institutions must navigate costly provider discovery across multiple geographies, each requiring expensive and resource-intensive API integrations. The absence of standardised data, compliance frameworks and operational workflows creates regulatory risk and operational complexity.
Financial institutions can now access on/off-ramp capabilities, stablecoin issuers, liquidity providers, on-chain foreign exchange, and remittance capabilities for over 60 currencies. The network includes built-in tools for sanctions screening, wallet verification, and Travel Rule compliance.
“Our integration with Fireblocks helps enterprises seamlessly transact between stablecoin and fiat - all directly from the Fireblocks platform, where businesses already run their financial operations. That means faster settlements, broader global access, and reduced operational complexity.”
Zach Abrams, CEO and Co-founder of Bridge
The launch comes as stablecoins now account for more annual volume than Visa and Mastercard combined, though adoption has outpaced supporting infrastructure development. Most institutions currently manage disparate providers, compliance workflows, and settlement rails.
Future integrations with Circle Payments Network and WalletConnect are planned to simplify institutional access to liquidity and settlement transactions globally with over 2,400 participants, including wallets, banks, issuers, and exchanges.
"We've built the most efficient and effective way for payments companies to build their evolving blockchain-based offerings. The Network for Payments is built to handle anything - interoperable by design and resilient enough for the world's fastest, largest transactions, ensuring that businesses have the foundation they need for programmable, compliant, real-time money movement worldwide."
Ran Goldi, SVP Payments & Network at Fireblocks
The platform enables fintechs, payment service providers, and other institutions to build products for payouts, remittance, merchant settlement, cross-border treasury operations and global payment flow orchestration. Yellow Card, which provides services across more than 20 African countries, is among the network participants.
"With Fireblocks, we've transformed a process that used to be slow and manual into a fast, secure, and compliant engine for growth. It's the core infrastructure that allows us to confidently scale our payout services for customers across 20+ African countries and in the emerging markets."
Chris Maurice, CEO and Co-founder of Yellow Card
The Fireblocks Network has previously been used to settle over $10 trillion in digital asset transfers, positioning it as a established infrastructure for large-scale, compliant stablecoin movement.
