After launching USDC in 2018 with Circle, Coinbase added USDC support to Coinbase Commerce in 2019, allowing merchants to accept the stablecoin directly. The bigger shift came in 2025, when the crypto exchange launched Coinbase Payments, a stablecoin payments stack that lets businesses and payment platforms integrate USDC payments into their existing systems.
Now Coinbase is extending that infrastructure into traditional banking. In September 2026, it partnered with Moov, a payments infrastructure provider whose platform connects more than 1,000 community banks and credit unions to payment systems. Coinbase brings stablecoin payment and settlement capabilities, while Moov offers a potential distribution channel across its network of community banks and credit unions. The announcement does not say all these institutions will offer Coinbase’s stablecoin capabilities or specify when individual institutions will activate them.
Later that month, Coinbase also expanded its collaboration with Citi, connecting its stablecoin payments infrastructure to the bank’s institutional banking and merchant-acquiring systems.
The two partnerships approach the same strategy from opposite ends of the financial system. Moov gives Coinbase a route into smaller institutions that may lack the resources to build their own stablecoin technology stack. Citi, which moves approximately $6 trillion a day, connects Coinbase’s capabilities to large corporate and institutional clients.

Moov gives Coinbase a route into smaller institutions that may lack the resources to build their own stablecoin technology stack. Citi, which moves approximately $6 trillion a day, connects Coinbase’s capabilities to large corporate and institutional clients.
The partnerships give Coinbase access to established banking and payment networks, while allowing banks and businesses to integrate stablecoin payment capabilities into their existing operations without having to build the underlying infrastructure from scratch.
This infrastructure expansion gives Coinbase a potential growth avenue beyond trading revenue, which fluctuates with crypto market activity. In a September 2026 Bloomberg interview, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said the stablecoin market, valued at around $300 billion, could grow nearly tenfold by 2030.
Coinbase-Moov: Extending stablecoin infrastructure to community banks
Coinbase, Visa and its partners, and blockchain infrastructure firms like Rain and Bridge are pushing an uncomfortable line of inquiry for incumbents: what happens when money can be spent without ever being routed through a bank account?
The answer, emerging across multiple announcements in June 2026, is a new category of card programs that don’t originate in deposits but in tokenized dollar balances.
From a trading-focused asset to a mainstream payments medium
Coinbase’s new card, built with Cardless, sits at the starting point of this shift.
It is designed for stablecoin holders who sit outside the traditional credit system. Instead of requiring unsecured credit approval, it uses stablecoin balances held on Coinbase as collateral, allowing users to access a credit line based on digital asset holdings.
“People apply from all different parts of the credit spectrum. There are some people that want to use this method because they believe in cryptocurrency, but they’re just beginning their journeys and accumulating wealth,” explained Cardless co-founder Michael Spelfogel.
Stablecoins here are not treated as payment currency in the traditional sense. They function more like a balance sheet input closer to collateral.
The move also reflects Coinbase’s broader trajectory: from exchange to wallet to financial platform that increasingly tries to retain users’ assets within its ecosystem while still enabling them to participate in the real economy.
But issuing access is only the first layer. Once stablecoin-backed credit exists, the system still has to answer three harder questions:
The two announcements Coinbase made this month reflect the firm’s expanding ambitions.
The company introduced a stablecoin-backed credit card that allows users to borrow against digital assets rather than rely solely on traditional credit underwriting. Days later, it launched Coinbase for Agents, a system that enables AI agents to trade, pay, and execute financial workflows within Coinbase accounts on behalf of users.
The moves answer a pertinent question that increasingly faces financial institutions: What happens when both money and the instructions that move it become programmable?
Turning stablecoins into financial utility
Crypto adoption has struggled with a practical problem. Digital assets could appreciate, but accessing that value often required selling them.
Coinbase’s new stablecoin-backed credit card changes that equation. Rather than liquidating holdings, users can use stablecoins as collateral to access credit. The model expands purchasing power while keeping assets inside the Coinbase ecosystem. It also potentially opens access to consumers with significant digital-asset holdings who may not qualify for traditional unsecured products.
The development reflects how stablecoins are evolving beyond their original role as digital dollars and into infrastructure supporting payments, lending, and liquidity management.
Building for an agent economy
Coinbase for Agents lets users authorize AI agents to monitor balances, execute trades, rebalance portfolios, make payments, and eventually purchase services on their behalf.
The company’s leadership has been vocal about where it believes this is heading. During Coinbase’s recent earnings commentary, CEO Brian Armstrong argued that AI agents will become major economic actors, capable of autonomously participating in commerce and financial transactions. The firm also disclosed that more than 90% of on-chain agentic stablecoin transaction volume has already occurred on Base in Q1 2026.
That figure suggests Coinbase is preparing for an agent economy, as it is already seeing early evidence of it.
The infrastructure question
Both of Coinbase’s moves are fundamentally rooted in infrastructure.
As crypto-backed payments move closer to mainstream commerce, merchants care less about the origin of funds than about settlement reliability, reconciliation accuracy, fraud controls, and accounting continuity.
The same standard applies to AI-driven transactions. An autonomous agent that can trade or spend money is only as useful as the payment rails, cash-flow systems, and compliance controls beneath it.
The opportunity and the complexity of aligning payments and autonomous execution help explain Coinbase’s push to build both sides of the equation simultaneously: the asset layer through stablecoins and the decision layer through AI agents.
The company believes that the next competitive battleground may be the operating layer that connects capital, payments, credit, and autonomous agents into a single system. And these announcements suggest Coinbase wants to own that layer.
Small business banking has always had a structural problem — the companies that hold your money and the companies that build your financial software have been two different things. One moves the money, the other tracks it, and small business owners are stuck in the gap between them. A new generation of fintechs has been trying to fix that, but most are still building horizontal tools for every business everywhere. The more interesting bet is vertical — going deep into the specific workflows of a particular industry and automating them completely.
My guest today is Victor Cardenas, co-founder and CEO of Slash, a business banking platform that started with teenage sneaker resellers and has grown into a $1.4 billion company by doing exactly that — building industry-specific financial products that legacy banks will never prioritize. Slash processes nearly $3 billion in stablecoin payment volume annually, and the company has been doing serious work rethinking how AI fits into both how they operate internally and what their customers experience.
Top-line Takeaway: It wasn’t long ago that fintechs were regularly raising nine-figure rounds. Those days are gone, which is exactly why Slash’s $100 million Series C is worth paying attention to. The company competes in SMB banking – a space oddly competitive but also so large and complex that most clients still aren’t getting all the help they need.
Slash bets that the company holding your bank account should own both the account and the software and that the real opportunity isn’t in building another horizontal tool for every business everywhere, but in going deep into specific industries and automating the workflows that no bank has ever bothered to build. Performance marketing agencies, import-export businesses, and other niches where the status quo is genuinely painful, and the incumbents have little interest in fixing it. CEO Victor Cardenas’s aspiration for Slash is for it to become the J.P. Morgan for SMBs, which is either an audacious vision or a useful shorthand for “we’re not stopping at niche.” Probably worth watching which one it turns out to be.

For years, cross-border payments have had problems with fees, long settlement times, and lack of transparency. Unfortunately, these problems have been well understood yet largely unsolved. The systems underpinning international money movement were built in the 1970s and 1990s for batch processing and domestic connectivity. The era of real-time, global, and programmable transactions was out of sight then, but it isn’t now.
Stablecoins have long been positioned as a potential answer, but adoption stayed shallow. That is changing.
Avinash Chidambaram has spent his career at the intersection of payments infrastructure and emerging digital asset frameworks. As founder and CEO of Cybrid, he now builds the stablecoin rails that neobanks and fintechs use to move money across borders. He is also in the room with key stakeholders in Canada, like regulators and other founders, giving him a unique vantage point into the future of this space.
“We’re an operator,” Chidambaram says. “We’re actually doing stablecoin payments, so when we go through the process of getting registered with the regulators, when we talk to legislators, we’re trying to give them that perspective.”
Looking ahead, Chidambaram sees a market that has cleared a threshold.
Regulatory frameworks are no longer in their infancy. Enterprise appetite now centers strategic implementations rather than exploratory ones. And the infrastructure stack (compliance, custody, FX connectivity, accounting) has been bundled into APIs that product teams can actually consume.
Even as recently as 2023, Chidambaram said conversations with legislators about stablecoins were largely educational. Fast-forward to 2026, and a lot has changed. Today, they are around operations and implementation. He added that policymakers across jurisdictions have moved past the basics and are now debating finer questions: which blockchains to support, how to think about validator risks from a sovereignty standpoint, and whether a domestic sovereign stablecoin makes more sense than a central bank digital currency, he shares.
The GENIUS Act in the US is a particularly meaningful inflection point that has set a benchmark for stablecoin legislation that other regional jurisdictions are now working from. In Europe, MiCA has done similar work, and the impact is visible: roughly 200 stablecoins are now issued globally.
“[With increasing regulatory clarity,] people understand what the risks are,” Chidambaram says. “People understand what kind of capital controls are required, and now they’re really starting to understand what the value props are.”
Yet discussions about implementation don’t mean everyone is rushing to push something out the door. Now, the uphill battle is not lack of awareness but the pace of work.
National frameworks, particularly around a sovereign stablecoin issued by a central bank, take considerable time to design and implement. In the meantime, the private market moves at its own speed. Chidambaram’s read on where most legislators have landed is that they understand the value proposition and are focused on getting the capital adequacy and redemption risk questions right, rather than blocking adoption.
The structural problem with legacy rails
Legacy rails were designed for domestic batch processing, and the workarounds built on top of them have multiplied over decades into layers of intermediaries, correspondent banks, card networks, clearing houses, and separate compliance vendors. Each layer adds cost, settlement delay, and opacity. And, most importantly, creates a structural problem rather than merely a technological one.
“Modern businesses are forced to operate on top of these really fragmented systems,” Chidambaram says. “They were never designed for real-time, global, programmable payments.”
The practical consequence for a fintech or enterprise trying to automate payments within a software workflow will give any decision maker pause: Connecting an ERP’s purchase-approval logic directly to a payment execution layer means threading through all of that fragmentation, and doing so in a way that still satisfies a compliance team running AML screening, KYC, and reporting across multiple jurisdictions.
By comparison, stablecoins might almost feel like magic. Rather than trying to connect fragmented systems, stablecoins bypass intermediaries by connecting two parties on a shared ledger. While the compliance obligations remain, the technology allows those checks to run before the payment executes, rather than managing them across a relay of institutions that each see only part of the transaction. And because the transaction is on-chain, both sender and recipient know when the money has landed.
Stablecoins in production
When Cybrid walks enterprises through the stablecoin payment flow, one detail lands particularly hard: traceability.
“We talk to enterprises,” Chidambaram says, “and they’ll tell us: ‘I sent $20,000 to my supplier, and he’s like, you didn’t send me all the money.’ And everyone just agrees that this is just how it works. That’s kind of crazy.”
With stablecoin infrastructure underneath, that conversation does not happen. A company acquires US dollar-backed stablecoins, sends the payment directly to the recipient’s wallet, and can confirm receipt on-chain in roughly two minutes. The FX price is guaranteed at the time of the transaction, not settled at whatever rate applies three days later when the funds actually arrive. For enterprises buying goods from overseas suppliers, that certainty has real value on both sides of the transaction.
Once payment execution is fast and programmable, the logic can move into the software stack. An ERP that flags a low-inventory condition can trigger a supplier payment approval workflow, route the CFO a notification, and execute the transaction on approval, without anyone logging into a separate banking portal.
“That feels kind of magical, but that’s actually here today,” Chidambaram says. “And that’s what we’re enabling.”
What actually unlocked adoption
Stablecoins have existed for roughly a decade, and for most of that time they were closely associated with crypto trading infrastructure. Initially, their core value prop was a faster way to move in and out of cryptocurrencies on exchanges than routing through a bank. That association was accurate as a description of where the volume lived. But the problem is it also shaped how enterprise and institutional audiences thought about the technology. For better (and worse), they thought of stablecoins as a crypto-adjacent instrument rather than a payments tool.
With increased regulatory clarity and the maturation of the operational stack around stablecoins, the “stablecoins as crypto-adjacent” narrative has changed.
“Every fintech, every bank now has someone in their organization whose job it is to figure out what is our stablecoin strategy,” Chidambaram says.
Compliance, mixed custody, fiat connectivity, accounting that meets IFRS standards has perhaps been the most significant change, and organizations like Cybrid assembled those components and wrapped them in an API. For fintechs fielding c-suite pressure to develop a stablecoin strategy, the availability of a bundled infrastructure layer that already carries SOC 2 compliance and regulatory registrations has materially lowered the barrier to moving forward.
“You’re not thinking about, ‘How do I do this integration to all these different things?’ It’s simple. It’s an API,” says Chidambaram.
Moving from curious to live
For executives who are past the evaluation stage and ready to move toward a pilot, Chidambaram’s advice is to lead with use case specificity rather than treating stablecoins as a general infrastructure upgrade.
He sees the clearest value today in the following categories:
Cross-border supplier payments
Global contractor payments
Marketplace payouts to large and distributed recipient pools
Treasury liquidity management across multi-jurisdiction entities
Treasury liquidity management, in particular, deserves attention. Stablecoins allow a treasury function to consolidate management across subsidiaries from a single compliance team, a structural efficiency that becomes more valuable as organizations scale internationally.
“CFOs need to start to look for a service provider who offers this compliance stack with the appropriate certifications,” he says, “and then say, ‘Where do I get the most value from this?’”
The scope of integrations required to assemble stablecoin payment infrastructure independently (rails, compliance, FX, accounting, custody, regulatory registration) is substantial, and maintaining those integrations over time is an ongoing cost.
For a company whose core business is e-commerce, marketplace operations, or financial services product development, that integration burden competes with resources better spent on the actual product. The more defensible path is finding a provider that has already assembled the stack and can deliver it as a consumable layer, freeing the internal team to focus on what they are actually building.
In this episode of the Tearsheet Podcast, I sit down with Frank Chaparro, the host of The Scoop and Director of Special Products at The Block. He has years of experience at the intersection of digital assets and Wall Street. Frank offers a unique perspective on blockchain technology and tokenization, highlighting their early impact on financial markets and projecting out where Web3 may lead for financial services.
“When you’re managing trillions of dollars, offering new, innovative products isn’t just risky. It’s a massive operational challenge,” says Chaparro. His insights explain why tokenization, stablecoins, and blockchain technology are growing in popularity. These innovations overcome challenges faced by traditional financial institutions, offering new solutions and efficiencies in the financial sector. Frank explores how stablecoins bridge decentralized finance and traditional systems. For example, he explores the challenges of institutional investment in crypto ETFs. His analysis covers the complexities of this fast-evolving space.
Frank emphasizes that tokenization is more than a buzzword: it’s a potential game-changer for financial systems. “At its core, tokenization offers efficiencies. Especially, in processes like property transactions and trading real-world assets,” he notes. But, he warns that significant hurdles remain. These include the lack of robust infrastructure and regulatory clarity.
Stablecoins as a Catalyst
Stablecoins, Frank explains, are a“lightning in a bottle” moment for crypto. “They’re effectively tokenized representations of dollars. And their ease of use has driven market growth to over $200 billion,” he says. Institutions and individuals alike are increasingly adopting stablecoins for payments and payroll. Major players like Tether and Circle are leading the way.
Institutional Adoption of Crypto ETFs
Crypto ETFs are making waves with record-breaking launches. But, Frank argues that institutional adoption of crypto is still in its early stages. He believes there’s much more progress to come. “Advisors are still figuring out how Bitcoin fits into the classic 60-40 portfolio model,” he says. Firms like Fidelity and BlackRock are exploring crypto allocations. This highlights the undeniable potential for growth.
The Role of Regulation
Frank notes that banks are often held back by internal policies, not regulatory restrictions. These policies prevent them from fully engaging with crypto. “The demand for ETF products has been phenomenal. But banks are navigating a complex regulatory landscape,” he explains. He believes regulatory clarity on stablecoins and digital assets could be a tipping point for wider adoption.
Sizzle vs. Steak: Deciphering Crypto’s Value
When asked how to separate hype from substance in crypto, Frank shares a pragmatic approach. He says, “It’s about looking beyond the present hype and assessing long-term potential. Technologies like NFTs and meme coins might seem frivolous now. But their underlying concepts, like financializing culture, hold promise.”
The Big Ideas
Tokenization could revolutionize industries by making processes more efficient. Frank highlights its application in property transactions. He says, “Tokenizing deeds could bring unprecedented efficiency to a traditionally slow process.”
Stablecoins are enabling seamless transactions between traditional and decentralized finance.“It’s just so damn easy to send stablecoins compared to alternatives like PayPal,” says Frank.
Despite regulatory and operational hurdles, major banks are inching closer to crypto adoption. Frank predicts, “By 2025, we’ll see wealth management portals opening up to these assets.”
Regulatory clarity remains a double-edged sword. Frank explains, “Banks fear the potential repercussions of engaging with digital assets. Even when there’s no explicit rule against it.”
Meme coins and NFTs hint at a future where culture and finance intersect. Frank calls it “extracting value out of humor,” a concept that could reshape how we view digital assets.
As blockchain technology seeps slowly into the traditional financial services ecosystem, it is offering new opportunities through tokenization and decentralized finance (DeFi). Today’s episode of the Tearsheet podcast hosts Paul Brody, EY’s Global Blockchain Leader who shares his expertise on these developments. Paul is focusing on the promise of public blockchain and the challenges surrounding privacy. He is also the Chairman of the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance. Brody’s unique roles provide a distinctive perspective on blockchain adoption in enterprises.
Reflecting on his decade at EY, Brody explains, “One of the things I’m most proud of is how little our strategy has evolved. We’ve consistently believed in the value proposition of public blockchains.” EY’s blockchain initiatives center around asset tokenization. It focuses on privacy-focused solutions and enabling enterprises to scale blockchain use effectively.
Addressing misconceptions, Brody highlights a critical distinction. He says, “A lot of people don’t realize private blockchains have no privacy. They’re centralized systems without the benefits of a decentralized ledger.” This belief underpins EY’s commitment to public blockchains, which he argues are the only viable path for enterprises.
Understanding Tokenization and Its Role in Financial Services
As the conversion of real-world assets into digital tokens. It is emerging as a key enabler in financial services. According to Brody, “At a global level, I believe all B2B transactions are suitable for blockchains.” Tokenization allows enterprises to tokenize assets such as real estate, and bonds. It enables seamless transactions through smart contracts.
Brody identifies privacy as a major hurdle to enterprise adoption. “Enterprises need privacy technology to protect sensitive business information. This is essential for them to use public chains,” he explains. EY is investing heavily in privacy-enhancing technologies. It ensures transactions remain verifiable while safeguarding proprietary data.
The Debate: Public Blockchain vs. Private Blockchain
When discussing blockchain adoption, Brody stresses the limitations of private blockchains. He says, “Private blockchains defeat the purpose of decentralization.” He notes that private systems often lack transparency and security. These are the defining advantages of blockchain technology. Public blockchains, combined with privacy layers, offer essential infrastructure for enterprises. This enables blockchain adoption at scale. “Privacy infrastructure on a public chain allows enterprises to securely share data with partners. It retains control over what remains private while doing so,” he adds.
How Decentralized Finance and Stablecoins Are Shaping the Industry
Decentralized finance is another area undergoing significant evolution. Brody observes that lower interest rates could reignite innovation. It will make tools like yield-bearing stablecoins and staking protocols more attractive. “When interest rates drop, the extra yield offered by DeFi tools becomes much more appealing,” he notes.
Stablecoins, especially those pegged to fiat currencies, are a cornerstone of this ecosystem. Brody envisions enterprises seamlessly integrating stablecoins into their operations. He also foresees the use of other digital assets becoming routine. This will enhance efficiency and reduce costs.
Looking Ahead: Blockchain in Financial Services
Brody discussed how regulatory clarity could speed up blockchain adoption. This would be particularly beneficial for large financial institutions. He predicts, “The floodgates will open once clear rules are established.” Some banks have started exploring blockchain-based solutions. But, widespread adoption depends on a clear regulatory framework.
For enterprises considering blockchain, Brody emphasizes starting with customer needs. “The nightmare for banks is when their most valuable customers open accounts at crypto exchanges. This leads them to leave the bank’s ecosystem,” he warns.
The Big Ideas
1. Tokenization is transforming B2B transactions.“Every transaction comes down to tokenizing money, tokenizing the stuff. And automating the terms via smart contracts,” says Brody.
2. Public blockchains offer a compelling value proposition.“Private blockchains have no privacy,” Brody explains. He emphasizes the importance of decentralized, public systems for scalability and security.
3. Privacy is essential for enterprise adoption. Brody highlights the need for privacy layers. He states, “Enterprises require privacy to share sensitive information securely on public blockchains.”
4. DeFi innovation is influenced by market conditions. Brody observes, “Lower interest rates make decentralized finance tools much more appealing. They do so by doubling potential returns compared to traditional options.”
5. Regulatory clarity will drive enterprise adoption.“The true race begins once the rules are clear. Until then, enterprises will hesitate to commit fully to blockchain-based solutions,” Brody asserts.
Could cryptocurrency be the key to bridging financial gaps? Can it create a more inclusive global economy?
Digital assets like stablecoins and blockchain technology are reshaping how we think about money. Their potential to level the financial playing field is becoming clearer. In today’s episode of the Tearsheet podcast, I sit down with Lisa Nestor, Research Director at the Stanford Future of Digital Currency Initiative to discuss how fintech innovation is paving the way for broader financial inclusion.
Lisa’s expertise spans blockchain technology, cryptocurrency, and fintech innovation. This makes her a leading voice in understanding the intersection of these fields.
Lisa’s career reflects a deep commitment to financial inclusion.
“When I started researching Stellar,” Lisa shares. “It brought together what I had seen [and demonstrated] the power of providing open-source financial infrastructure.” This passion for creating accessible financial systems has guided her work. It also included her current research on stablecoins and digital dollar adoption.
Lisa explains how cryptocurrency, stablecoins, and blockchain can make finance fairer. Her insights show how these innovations affect cross-border payments and financial inclusion. She also discusses their role in the evolving fintech landscape.
Cryptocurrency and Financial Inclusion
Cryptocurrency has the potential to address the uneven access to financial services worldwide. Blockchain technology allows people in underserved regions to access digital wallets and stablecoins.
With new financial tools, more people can save, transact, and even earn. “Access to financial services is not an even playing field,” Lisa notes. “Distributed ledger technology can help level that field. It can do so by providing accessible and stable financial options.”
Stablecoins: Beyond Trading to Real-World Impact
Stablecoins are already impacting cross-border payments and savings in regions with unstable economies. Lisa highlights Argentina as a case study. She says, “Argentina’s economic situation has created a huge demand for digital dollars, with stablecoins playing a crucial role in hedging inflation and providing financial security.”
Digital Dollar Economy and Cross-Border Payments
Lisa emphasizes how digital dollars simplify cross-border payments, especially for regions with limited traditional banking infrastructure. “Being able to hold a stablecoin in a digital wallet and earning some yield on it is a small but significant step towards democratizing finance,” she says.
Tokenization of Real-World Assets
Another emerging trend Lisa identifies is the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA). Blockchain makes traditionally illiquid assets, like real estate and art, more liquid.
This opens up global markets. “This approach improves liquidity. It makes these assets move seamlessly across the globe,” Lisa explains.
Fintech Trends in Digital Asset Adoption
Lisa explores CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies) and private stablecoins. She looks at how governments and businesses are adopting digital assets. She also discusses the opportunities and challenges they face. “Most central banks are researching how to launch CBDCs without negatively impacting their banking industry,” she says. Lisa highlights a cautious yet growing interest in these tools.
The Big Ideas
1. Open financial infrastructure creates a global ledger accessible to all.“The idea is to create a ledger that every financial institution in the world can operate on but can’t buy. It is open and available to everyone.”
2.Stablecoins provide financial security in unstable economies. “In emerging markets like Argentina, stablecoins offer a way to hedge inflation. They secure savings amidst economic instability.”
3. Tokenizing real-world assets improves liquidity and global accessibility.“Tokenizing existing assets brings improved liquidity and global accessibility to traditionally illiquid markets.”
4. Governments explore CBDCs to complement existing banking systems. “Central banks are focused on introducing CBDCs that complement. Rather than compete with, existing banking systems.”
5. Digital dollars empower individuals in the gig economy. “More individuals are earning in digital dollars through online work. This is creating new economic opportunities without physical migration.”
