Cray

Stablecoin payments, unchained.
Pay from any chain. Settle anywhere.
One SDK. Live in minutes.

[Cray @craydotpro]

1/ Cray’s vision is simple: make crypto invisible and stablecoins usable for everyone.
We’re thrilled to integrate @Circle Gateway to bring unified @USDC liquidity across chains.

[Circle @circle]

We’re excited to announce Circle Gateway has arrived on mainnet!

Circle Gateway is a new primitive enabling a unified @USDC balance instantly accessible crosschain in <500 ms.

Now available on @arbitrum, @avax, @base, @ethereum, @Optimism, @0xPolygon, and @unichain with more blockchains expected, including @arc.

Gateway can help:
→ Onramps & PSPs serve more users across supported chains without idle capital
→ Exchanges scale USDC withdrawals with no bridge infra or delays
→ Custodians offer seamless crosschain access to their clients
→ Wallets simplify UX with a unified USDC balance
→ Solvers unlock capital efficiency and maximize revenue

Thanks to the launch partners who are building alongside us to unify crosschain liquidity and enhance UX, including: @aori_io, @BlockradarHQ, @craydotpro, @daimopay, @dfnsHQ, @eco, @useenclave, @FireblocksHQ, @ParticleNtwrk, @rathfinance, @rhinestonewtf, @Rockaway_X, and @superformxyz with more expected in the coming weeks.

@Bitso 🤝

[Cray @craydotpro]

You don't need a special wallet to pay Cray merchants.

It could be any one that you use, including:
@ready_co
@Bitso
@moonpay
@Ctrl_Wallet
@base
@binance
@metamask

Customers pay from their preferred wallets &amp; merchants get settled instantly.

[Cray @craydotpro]

@Defipeniel @ripemarket Real-world payments works only when onboarding and UX is smooth enough😎

[Cray @craydotpro]

Real-world crypto payments in action.

Marea Jewels, at @ripemarket, Dubai, is now accepting crypto payments using Cray, enabling a simple QR-based flow for spending crypto just like cash!

As more businesses adopt crypto payments, Cray is helping merchants save on fees while offering customers a modern way to pay.

Time to put your crypto to use - move it out of your wallets to real-world use cases!

[Cray @craydotpro]

@Vivek4real_ Wayy to go 🚀

[Cray @craydotpro]

People are far more interested in stablecoin payments than we assume.

We’ve been meeting merchants across Dubai.

Conversations with them are rarely about crypto. They’re usually about customers, costs, &amp; getting paid faster.

[Cray @craydotpro]

The Defi ecosystem is rebuilding the entire global financial stack.

It's a very small industry compared to the total addressable market it's going after.

That's what makes it interesting.
Regulations, banks, and traditional payment networks now know it too.

[Milk Road @milkroaddaily]

Matt Hougan: "If you take out $BTC and you take out stablecoins, what is the market cap of what we're trying to reinvent finance with?"

"It is less than a trillion dollars."

ETH is ~$200B, but from there it falls off a cliff.

The entire DeFi ecosystem trying to recreate global finance has the market cap of half of Micron.

"A relatively small industry going after an enormous addressable market. That's why it's interesting and why it's a contrarian investment."

FT @Matt_Hougan @LGDoucet.

[Cray @craydotpro]

@cryptorover First the US, then JAPAN, followed by Luxembourg, and now China.

And these are not just it.

Governments from worldwide are hopping in!
The discussion of whether crypto will survive is over.

Now it's the question -
Which country will lead the adoption of blockchain rails?

[Cray @craydotpro]

@thestablecon @Visa The future is where traditional finance networks &amp; stablecoin rails work in conjunction with each other.

It’s going to be interesting how the convergence will happen &amp; who will benefit from it.

We strongly believe this should benefit the merchants powering the economy.

[Cray @craydotpro]

5/
The takeaway -

Crypto isn't operating outside the financial system anymore.
The system is adapting to crypto.

Banks. Governments. Regulators. Merchants.
On-chain economy is being built.

At https://t.co/Fe5EUb6jlF, we’re building the infra so merchants can enter this future

[Cray @craydotpro]

Banks, governments, regulators, and global corporations are no longer debating crypto.

They're building around it.

The world is creating the on-chain version of finance.

Here's what went around stablecoins this week 🧵👇

[Cray @craydotpro]

4/
For the infra to scale, regulation has to evolve too.

CLARITY + GENIUS act in the US are already creating clearer rules for digital assets, stablecoins, &amp; customer protections

Japan is moving in the same direction with crypto tax &amp; ETF reforms.

Clear rules unlock adoption.

[Cray @craydotpro]

After speaking with 100+ merchants, one request came up repeatedly:
What if I'm not at the counter?

Introducing Staff Access.

Invite staff to accept payments from their Own accounts.
- Merchant controls funds
- Readonly staff access

Built for how businesses actually operate.

[Cray @craydotpro]

Stablecoin adoption is broadening.

Monthly transaction volume grew from:
→ $73B in 2023
→ $453B in 2026

Over 6x growth in just 3 years.

The growth is showing up across every transaction size.
It's expanding across the entire economy.

Activity is rising across:
✅ Small payments
✅ Medium transfers
✅ Large settlements

Historically, stablecoins were associated largely with trading & large capital movements.

Today, they're being used for Payments, Remittances, Business transfers, Treasury, Settlements, etc.

A $20 payment or a $2M settlement can both move on the same rails, for near-zero cost.

That's the shift.

Traditional payment systems added layers as money moved across borders.

However, stablecoins use the same infrastructure regardless of transaction size or geography.

We're moving from fragmented payment networks to a shared global settlement layer.

And we’re helping merchants unlock this value at https://t.co/u5wDMTn1rx.

@CryptoTice_ It reflects how banking rails are evolving around blockchain rails.

It won't be about the latter replacing/overtaking the former, but the merger (the shift) that powers the future of economy.

It would be about the former adopting the latter.
The Finance moving on-chain!

[Cray @craydotpro]

Non-USD stablecoins crossed $5.7B in market cap. It isn't just about USD or non-USD stablecoins anymore.

It's about currencies becoming internet-native.

The future may not be one stablecoin used everywhere, but many operating on the same blockchain rails.

[Circle @circle]

Most national payment systems aren't programmable.

For the agentic economy to work globally, you need the ability to program payments.

StableFX on Arc lets you do spot delivery of local fiat stablecoins through an RFQ protocol with real-time quotes, execution, and instant settlement finality.

[Cray @craydotpro]

At https://t.co/GNcv1eqGEW, we're building for that future.

An economy where money moves globally, instantly, and natively on-chain, regardless of the currency behind it.

[Cray @craydotpro]

As payments move on-chain, demand is growing not just for digital dollars, but for digital euros, pounds, &amp; more.

Non-USD stablecoins now exceed $5.7B in market cap.
And BLR grew 40% in the last 30 days.

[Cray @craydotpro]

3/
The next phase of stablecoins may not be about USD or non-USD stablecoins. It'll be about which currencies are becoming internet native.

The future will look like a global network of digital currencies operating on common blockchain rails.

Different money. Same infra.
