One of the things people asked us the most was a reliable way to send money to Venezuela 🇻🇪
We're excited to announce that, together with @Airtminc, we've made it a reality.
You can now fund your Decaf Pay account and withdraw directly to a bank account in Venezuela or via Zelle.
See how it works 👇

When money moves, we make a real difference:
Thanks to @GiveDirectly@Decaf_so Over 3,700 people in Venezuela received cash assistance to help their recovery after the earthquake: https://t.co/fgcfYu1kGp

Love seeing examples like this. Better FX rates, less friction, and real savings on everyday transactions. This is where stablecoins start to make a lot of sense.
Never thought crypto would get me a better FX rate. Just landed in Europe and stopped by @MoneyGram.
Cash exchange rate was 0.81 EUR/USD. Turns out crypto got me a better rate 0.87, so I cashed out 200 USDC for €174.04 using @Decaf_so with @circle on @StellarOrg.
7% more euros. Crypto is becoming better money IRL.
Next stop: #Meridian2026! 🚀

Stellar is one of those networks where blockchain meets real world.
Stellar story is found in how money moves in the real world.
Today, we’re looking at Decaf Wallet, a non-custodial wallet built to make digital dollars easier to send, receive, hold and convert into local currency.
but the wallet itself is only part of the story.
The bigger opportunity is what the infrastructure makes possible.
Through Stellar Disbursement Platform, organizations can distribute USDC across borders, while Decaf gives recipients a way to receive and use those funds without depending entirely on traditional banking systems.
We’ve already seen this work in practice.
In 2025, the International AIDS Society used Stellar, USDC and Decaf Wallet to distribute 425 payments to 248 scholarship recipients across more than 50 countries during its conference in Kigali.
Instead of transporting cash internationally, sorting it into envelopes and having recipients queue to collect their stipends, the funds were sent digitally to their phones.
The same infrastructure is now being positioned for humanitarian disbursements, including emergency support for families, field workers and beneficiaries in regions where access to traditional banking is limited.
Decaf says its payment infrastructure has reached more than 180 countries and processed over $100 million in the last six months.
This is what real-world blockchain utility can look like
These are the kinds of stories we’re here to tell.
Emergency aid in Venezuela. Allowances for participants from 95 countries. Food assistance in Wyoming.
This is what real-world projects have taught us about stablecoin payments, and how they’re shaping @Decaf_so.
This may have been the most challenging digital bulk payment projects ever attempted.
Nearly 900 people. 95 countries. Thousands of payments. Different currencies, banking systems and ways of accessing money.
Delivering $USDC to recipients phones, via @Decaf_so at @iasociety #AIDS2026.
Funds delivered digitally, with each person able to choose how to use them locally.
No envelopes of cash. No lines to collect payments.
A glimpse of what global payments can look like.
