Stablecoin Simplified 006

“Doesn’t this cut out the banks?”

That’s still one of the biggest concerns regulated institutions have about stablecoins.

It doesn’t.

Week 06 of the Stablecoin Dispatch 👇

[Akansh Jain @akanshj31]

2026 is shaping up to be a defining year for financial infrastructure

I’ll be at Consensus Hong Kong (Feb 10–12) discussing what’s next for payments, digital assets, and cross-border rails as the industry moves from experimentation to scale.

If you’re building for the long term, let’s connect.

$1B to $50B in annualized volume. 50x growth in one year ✨

2025 was the year stablecoins became infrastructure and the year our bet proved right

We built with that future in mind 👇

We started with a big, simple ambition: make stablecoin rails feel as safe as a core banking system and as flexible as a modern developer stack.

🚀 Excited to share an important company milestone:

Last month, @primevaultHQ crossed $50 billion in annualized transactions volume processed through our infrastructure 📈

Less than 18 months since launch

Growing 100% or more in 4 out of the last 6 months

And here’s the kicker: >95% of that volume is Stablecoins

Here’s the story of how we got here 👇

In the fall of 2022, as we graduated @ycombinator, we were pitching our “stablecoin business banking” idea to skeptical investors at Demo Day. The crypto market was in shambles (FTX collapsed a few weeks later), and anything “blockchain” suddenly looked very risky.

In the following months, @jeapostrophe, @vivek_kumar_15, @akanshj31, and I pivoted our focus to building the most reliable infrastructure crypto-friendly institutions could depend on during volatile times, while we waited for the market’s trust to recover. We had a rare team that simultaneously specialized in cybersecurity, payments and blockchains — domains that would become the backbone of modern onchain finance.

Fast forward to December of last year, everything changed. Almost overnight, crypto went from “too risky” to a policy priority for the government and a strategic priority for institutions and fintechs.

But one asset class attracted disproportionate institutional interest: stablecoins.

Our explosive growth this past year, coupled with the hundreds of conversations we’ve had with payments and finance leaders, taught us one thing: stablecoins are becoming core financial infrastructure faster than people think.

When the GENIUS Act was introduced in Congress earlier this year, we knew it would mark the beginning of a new age in payments and cross-border finance. In the months ahead, safe and convenient digital dollar access and near-instant settlements became the baseline expectation.

But infrastructure providers failed to catch up. Incumbent systems remained optimized for crypto trading and investing use cases, whereas enabling teams to build real-time, onchain payment systems needed fundamentally different design choices and trade-offs.

Real-time onchain finance needed tailored tooling.

PrimeVault is just that: the most reliable, stable and performant stack on the market to build any stablecoin-powered product or treasury workflow.

Stablecoins are rewiring global finance. The change is more insidious (happening inside the finance back-office), which makes it easy for people to miss.

If you’re a bank, fintech, money services business, or even a corporation looking to transform your treasury function from a cost to a revenue center, reach out to us at PrimeVault.

The future shouldn’t wait on infrastructure.

Next stop: $500bn. 6 months. 🚀

🎛️ Most custody platforms just hold assets. What if you could automate with visibility and control?

Think:
⚡ Instant sweeps
🔄 Auto refills
🎯 Security policies you control

@jeapostrophe from @primevaultHQ reveals how automation can power up your assets 👇

1/ 🚀 Money20/20 just wrapped and the energy was incredible! Stablecoins absolutely stole the show! Here's what fintech and banking leaders are actually saying👇

[PrimeVault @primevaultHQ]

UPI set global benchmarks for digital payments 🇮🇳✅

Next conversation: the INR in global settlement via stablecoin rails 🌍

USD stables dominate today, but long-term resilience = multi-currency infrastructure

🔁 lower FX friction
📦 trade corridors
💸 smoother remittances
🏦 sovereign flexibility

At @primevaultHQ , we build secure, programmable custody and settlement infrastructure for institutions operating in this evolving environment. As finance moves onchain, regulated and sovereign-aligned infrastructure will matter more, not less 🛡️

The winds are shifting✨

🚀 PrimeVault x DFINITY Foundation: Institutional DeFi on ICP — Built from the ground up.

Over the last few months, @primevaultHQ and the @dfinity foundation have been working closely to define what institutional-grade DeFi on ICP should look like. It meant:

🔐 Defining new DeFi security and access standards for institutions

⚡ Building a programmatic API layer to access ICP canisters securely

🧭 Enforcing enterprise-grade policy controls, TEEs, and key management

🧩 Making it plug-and-play so institutions don’t have to build complex workflows from scratch

The result?

PrimeVault is now the first institutional digital asset infrastructure provider to enable secure, compliant DeFi access on the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP).

When it comes to safeguarding digital assets, while MPC is powerful it’s only part of the defense. At @primevaultHQ, we go further by combining MPC with Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), also known as hardware enclaves🔒

Excited to share that our co-founder @akanshj31 will be speaking at @solana APEX Mumbai on Oct 6 ✨

PrimeVault powers digital asset infrastructure, helping teams scale stablecoin and crypto use cases securely and compliantly.

Adoption is accelerating and Solana's speed and scale make it one of the most exciting ecosystems to build in.

Can’t wait to meet the community 🚀

[PrimeVault @primevaultHQ]

Our co-founders, @akanshj31 and @prashantupd, are heading to the Lion City for @token2049 next week!

While the world debates crypto's next chapter, we're building it. The stablecoin payments revolution is no longer in the making! It is here!

Institutions are discovering what we've known all along: blockchain rails + stablecoins = the new financial backbone.

We're building the infrastructure that enables this next scale of growth, helping forward-thinking institutions capture the disruption rather than be disrupted by it.

Look forward to connecting with financial leaders ready to enter the Fintech 3.0 era through digital asset infrastructure:

- Fintechs & PSPs — scaling payments and global money movement
- Banks & Institutions — funds, allocators, and balance sheets steering liquidity
- Issuers & Exchanges — stablecoins, global venues, and liquidity providers

Post-Event Wrap: The Reserve Table | Bangalore Edition

Last night in Bangalore, we pulled chairs together for The Reserve Table, a private CXO supper focused on one thing: how stablecoin payments can make India’s money flows faster, cheaper, and more programmable in a compliant manner.

Who was at the table? The folks running stablecoin rails with some moving 100s of millions every day: @openfx_, @CoinDCX, @Flipkart, @officialmudrex, @fuzefinance, @skydo_official, GlomoPay, @leap_wallet, @Infinityapp_in, @dodopayments, @monad, @ZynkLabs, @ElectronZK, @endl_io⚡

What stood out:
🇮🇳 India took in $129B in remittances in 2024. Nearly two-thirds came from just two corridors: US→India (~28%) and GCC→India (~38%). These are ground zero for stablecoin flows.

💸 Cross-border FX remains broken. US→India remits still cost ~4.5%. Flows from Sub-Saharan Africa average 8%+. For SMEs and PSPs, stablecoins cut both cost and settlement time.

🛠️ Concrete use cases are here: SME supply-chain settlements, NRI remittance, marketplace pay-ins/outs to international sellers, and payroll for global contractors. These aren’t “future ideas”, they’re live pain points adopting rails.

🏦 Fintechs need a clearer path forward. A sandbox with banks, clear FX rules, and regulated on/off-ramps could unlock massive volumes while being compliant

What was amply clear - Stablecoins in India are past the "what if" stage. The real test now lies with fintechs and PSPs: adopting them in production, proving where they beat existing rails, and building the trust that regulators will demand.

The players who move first will define and win the market.

🚀 Next up: This September at @token2049 Singapore, we’re hosting the next edition of The Reserve Table, an invite-only Stablecoin CXO Breakfast where the noise drops out and you’re across the table from the ones moving billions in flows, products, and strategy.

👀 Stay tuned for the deets
