Fireblocks has launched a stablecoin payments network built around a single integration to multiple providers, pitching compliance tooling and global coverage as its core features.
Fireblocks Adds Compliance Tooling Across 100+ Countries for Stablecoin Payments
Fireblocks, the enterprise-grade digital asset platform, unveiled the “Network for Payments” on Sept. 4, a set of APIs and connections intended to let institutions move stablecoins and fiat across local payment rails and blockchains. The company says its network is already processing roughly $200 billion in monthly stablecoin flows and is live with more than 40 providers and 300 payment firms in 100-plus countries.
According to the Fireblocks’ blog post announcement, the network aggregates on- and off-ramps, liquidity providers, banks, payment processors, and stablecoin issuers behind one access layer. Named partners include Circle, Paxos, B2C2, GSR, QCP, dLocal, Sygnum, OpenPayd, Transak, Yellow Card, Nonco, and Zodia Markets, among others.
Beyond connectivity, the company is emphasizing embedded compliance. Fireblocks says payments can include anti-money-laundering and sanctions screening, travel-rule data exchange, beneficiary information, and wallet verification, with integrations from Notabene, Elliptic, and Chainalysis. The pitch is to reduce the bespoke integrations and jurisdiction-specific checks that typically slow deployments.
Fireblocks frames the effort as a way to support cross-border treasury, payouts, remittances, and merchant settlement while retaining control over providers and routes. The design centers on a “one integration, many partners” model to mitigate vendor lock-in and speed geographic expansion, the company says.
The company likens the role of its network to a connective layer for the stablecoin economy, similar to how SWIFT standardized messaging for bank payments. Fireblocks also points to future extensions that could connect tokenized deposits, real-world assets, and programmable settlement.
The announcement arrives amid growing stablecoin usage among corporates and fintechs, where connectivity, liquidity access, and regulatory expectations vary by market. Whether one access layer can streamline the fragmented mix of rails and liquidity sources at scale will depend on continued partner growth and on-the-ground performance.
Fireblocks did not disclose pricing or specific service-level commitments. The company says more partners will be added over time and that customers can activate new corridors without rebuilding integrations as markets evolve. Fireblocks is led by CEO Michael Shaulov, who announced the initiative in a company blog post on Fireblocks.com.
