NOW: Stablecoin payments are coming to merchants through @Lydianpay, with @Anchorage Digital Bank behind the minting, redemption and custody.

Instead of “three different partners,” they “can now rely on Anchorage to do all three in one.” Says Mónica Ramírez de Arellano

https://t.co/YfLQW1iDvY

[Anchorage Digital ⚓️ @Anchorage]

Most point of sale providers can’t touch stablecoins directly. That’s the gap keeping stablecoins away from everyday merchants.

@Lydianpay builds the acceptance layer so they can. Anchorage Digital Bank now provides the stablecoin minting, redemption, and custody behind it.

Stablecoins settle in seconds, while the compliance checks around a payment can take hours or days.

"A lot of that process right now is done over email. And it's basically a big telephone game."

The approach is to reach customers on "the messaging platforms that they use day in, day out."
