Stablecoin-backed cards can make digital balances useful at everyday checkouts without asking merchants to change how they accept payments. Clear conversion costs and dependable card processing will determine the experience.
Payroll privacy is a practical requirement, not an optional feature. Stablecoin payouts should protect workers’ financial data while preserving the records businesses need for compliance, reconciliation and audit.
Privacy is live on Tempo.
Tempo Zones let enterprises keep customer stablecoin balances and payments private, with built-in compliance controls and access to global liquidity.
@deel is the first customer with Zones live in production.
Stablecoin payments need reliable entry and exit points. Connecting regulated fiat access, wallets and local payouts is what turns onchain settlement into usable infrastructure for businesses.
BREAKING: Polygon Labs is now a U.S.-regulated payments business.
The Coinme acquisition is complete. It brings regulated U.S. money movement into Polygon Open Money Stack.
@Tazapay, @meshpay, @useToku, and Kira join as the first set of businesses moving money with the unified stack.
Stablecoins are moving closer to the interfaces people already use.
Bringing USDC into a native mobile wallet can make cross-border value movement feel less like a blockchain transaction—and more like an everyday payment experience.
Distribution matters.

Batch settlement changes the economics of high-frequency payments. At scale, payment infrastructure has to optimize cost without sacrificing transaction visibility, reconciliation or control.
🧵 Weekly Recap — Oct 4
18.5M payments used to cost a merchant ~$18,400 in Solana network fees. With batch settlement, the same flow would cost under $1.
That's where this week starts 👇
Stablecoin payments are moving from isolated products toward a connected stack of cards, accounts, payouts and settlement. The next challenge is making that stack feel like one coherent experience.
The biggest change in stablecoins has been what people use them for.
Stablecoin payments can already feel like an established category because cards, accounts and settlement products are now everywhere in the conversation. In reality, the payments use case is still relatively young.
For most of stablecoins’ history, their role was much more closely tied to trading and liquidity. The serious shift toward payments only started accelerating in the last couple of years.
That shift is visible in the infrastructure companies are now asking for. More partners are building around cards, accounts, payouts and settlement, which is one of the reasons our own focus has moved increasingly toward infrastructure.
Your journey shouldn’t stop at borders. Neither should your payments.
The RFPay Card connects digital assets to real-world spending across Visa’s global network—wherever you go.

AI interfaces may change how users initiate financial transactions, but authorization, transparency and user control still need to remain explicit at every step.
Unified infrastructure across execution, settlement, asset conversion and payments is what turns fragmented onchain activity into usable financial products.

Real-time stablecoin payments are moving beyond trading and into how global contributors get paid. This is the kind of practical utility that expands the digital economy.

A win for independent journalism, powered by Coinbase's stablecoin infrastructure.
