The history of progress is a history of infrastructure. How free we are to build. The economies that defined history were built on infrastructure so essential, so deeply embedded, that we eventually take it for granted.
The Stablecoin Economy will be no different.
Eco is building the missing layer: Rails to connect. Highways to route. Water to flow. Power to activate. Introducing entirely new possibilities for how money moves.
This isn't a feature set. It's a foundation. One where money doesn’t just move; but one where money flows, bends, reacts like never before.
Smarter infrastructure powers smarter economies.
The Stablecoin Economy is here. And, it grows with Eco.

Railroads weren't a novelty. Electricity wasn't a better gas lamp.
The people who saw them as the backbone of a new economy made generational bets.
Stablecoins are that moment now.
The open question isn't whether they win.
It's who connects the economy they're building.
Money movement is changing.
Soon, payment systems won't only settle a transaction. They'll take instructions from software, the way an app does.
That's what agentic commerce will run on.
Circle is already building toward it: local stablecoins delivered on demand, quote and done.
The same logic is showing up across the market. Money that software can call directly, move instantly, settle anywhere.
The more rails that come online, the more they all have to connect.
@chandhok, CPTO at @circle, on @TokenizedPod:
Stablecoin settlement is no longer just a fintech story. With FIUSD, @Fiserv brings 24/7 stablecoin-powered payments to 10,000 banks and 6M+ merchant locations across the US.
Takis Georgakopoulos, COO of Fiserv, on why the company sees stablecoins as core to the next era of financial services.
Stablecoins were a crypto trading tool.
Then: payments. Cross-border transfers. P2P remittances.
Now: settlement currency for direct/tokenized stocks and TradFi perps — trading 24/7 on-chain.
TradFi-linked perp volume settled in stablecoins: 6.1% of total stablecoin volume, reached in 6 months.
The addressable market is larger than stablecoin supply itself. This is still early.
@xanonxbt@global_dollar@solana Appreciate you raising this. We're looking into it.
Mind sending us a DM so we can dig into the details and understand what went wrong?
Want access to @global_dollar's solana:2u1tszSeqZ3qBWF3uNGPFc8TzMk2tdiwknnRMWGWjGWH on @solana from any major chain?
Eco Routes lets builders embed real-time stablecoin execution and tap into solana:2u1tszSeqZ3qBWF3uNGPFc8TzMk2tdiwknnRMWGWjGWH liquidity on Solana without being deployed there.
Already live on @lifiprotocol's @jumperapp.
Done right, stablecoin interoperability looks like nothing at all.
The user just holds dollars that work.
Eco's Head of Product @strao_ on the true meaning of stablecoin interoperability:
classic crypto users were fine with fees and slippage in order to do cross-chain swaps and transfers
but everyday fintech users don't want fees for moving USD-denominated stablecoins from one chain to another either for payins, payouts or internal transfers
1:1 stables or die
Companies moving payments onchain are picking stablecoins as the default settlement layer. @coinbase clears billions in stablecoin settlement daily across every major chain.
@brian_armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, on why stablecoins are the best form of money.
Mastercard is settling in six stablecoins across eight chains.
Not one chain. Eight.
Not one stablecoin. Six.
The question shifts from which chain wins to how value moves between them.
Today, Mastercard is announcing plans to expand settlement capabilities to include stablecoin, intraday, holiday, and weekend options, giving partners more choice in how and when transactions are settled. That means we’re:
✅ Enabling greater choice to settle in fiat or regulated stablecoins
✅ Improving liquidity management for time sensitive, cross border flows
We’re supporting settlement with @Circle’s USDC, @Paxos-issued stablecoins including USDG,USDP and @PayPal’s PYUSD, @Ripple’s RLUSD and @SoFi’s SoFiUSD across a range of supported blockchain networks including Arbitrum, @Coinbase’s Base, @CantonNetwork’s Canton, Ethereum, @0xPolygon, @Solana, @Tempo and XRPL. ARQ Finance, CBW Bank, @crossriverbank, @Lead_Bank and @Nuvei will be among the first to support.
How many stablecoins launched in the last four weeks?
@WesternUnion went live with USDPT on Solana.
They serve 100M+ customers in 200+ countries.
@SoFi launched SoFiUSD on Ethereum and Solana.
They bank 15M members.
@MoneyGram launched MGUSD on Stellar.
They move money for 50M+ customers in 200+ countries.
Three massive institutions. Three new digital dollars. Across three different chains.
The Stablecoin Economy keeps growing. And the need to connect it all grows with it.
Franklin Templeton manages $1.74 trillion.
Now institutions can swap directly between its tokenized money-market fund and stablecoins like USDC via @MoonPay, without leaving the blockchain.

When the world's largest card network treats stablecoins as core settlement infrastructure, the debate is over.
@cuysheffield, Head of @Visa Crypto Labs, on what sets stablecoins apart from every prior crypto narrative.
How much fragmentation comes with stablecoin growth?
Stablecoins still move a small fraction of global value. Plenty of room for fragmentation ahead.
Malcolm Clarke, VP of Digital Assets at @WesternUnion, on @twifintech's Crossing the Chasm.
Why do blockchain solvers fail on multi-million dollar swaps?
They need capital upfront. No single solver holds that much idle.
Flash Intents doesn't need solver capital. It borrows the user's capital, routes the swap, and repays — all in one atomic tx. https://t.co/mHx5cMEMgy
The same stablecoin on a different chain might as well be in a different country.
Eco's Head of Product @strao_ on why every chain has its own rules, and what it takes to deliver a consistent experience across all of them.
Want atomic execution for your stablecoin flows?
