Modern Treasury 🤝 Base
Businesses on @ModernTreasury can now send and receive USDC payments on @base while continuing to manage compliance, accounts, ledgering, and payments alongside traditional financial systems
Base is for enterprises
🧵 Stripe, Visa and Mastercard are reportedly close to launching a joint stablecoin platform.
Most investors will focus on the announcement itself.
The more interesting question may be:
Which networks are already connected to this emerging stablecoin infrastructure?
That question leads to @StellarOrg
Stablecoins are no longer a crypto side story.
They are increasingly becoming financial infrastructure.
The world’s largest payment companies are not chasing speculation.
They are building new settlement rails for moving money globally.
Stripe’s connection to Stellar runs deeper than many realize.
@stripe was an early investor in Stellar, and its relationship with the network dates back more than a decade.
Today, Stripe’s crypto strategy increasingly overlaps with areas where Stellar has long been active: payments, stablecoins and global settlement.
Stripe also integrated Stellar for crypto payouts.
The goal was not trading.
The goal was moving value efficiently across borders.
Fast settlement, low fees and global accessibility remain central to that vision.
Then came Bridge.
@stripe acquired the stablecoin infrastructure company for $1.1 billion.
Bridge has leveraged Stellar infrastructure for enterprise payouts and global money movement, connecting businesses with stablecoin-based payment rails.
@Visa has been moving steadily toward stablecoin settlement for years.
What began with early $USDC settlement initiatives has evolved into a broader strategy focused on blockchain-based payments, cross-border transfers and programmable money.
The direction of travel has become increasingly clear.
The Wirex partnership pushed that vision further.
Visa-linked settlement in USDC and EURC went live on Stellar, enabling settlement without relying on traditional correspondent banking infrastructure.
This was not a pilot.
It was production infrastructure.
@Mastercard has also established ties with @StellarOrg
The network joined the Mastercard Crypto Credential ecosystem, an initiative focused on identity, compliance and trusted blockchain-based transactions.
An important step toward regulated digital asset adoption.
Meanwhile, Stripe and Paradigm launched Tempo, a blockchain focused on next-generation payment infrastructure.
Many immediately assumed this meant competition with Stellar.
The reality may be more nuanced.
Stellar’s own developer docs now include Agentic Payments, with dedicated sections for x402 and MPP on Stellar.
That matters because the stablecoin story is no longer just about human payments.
It is also about programmable, machine-driven payment infrastructure.
Tempo brings modern payment architecture and AI-native applications.
Stellar brings more than a decade of experience in stablecoins, settlement, tokenized assets, compliance frameworks and global on/off-ramp infrastructure.
Those capabilities are complementary.
The takeaway is not that Stripe, Visa and Mastercard will build everything on Stellar.
The takeaway is that as stablecoins move deeper into mainstream finance, Stellar keeps appearing in the infrastructure stack.
Stripe.
Visa.
Mastercard.
MoneyGram.
Franklin Templeton.
At some point, that stops looking like coincidence and starts looking like infrastructure.

Everyone expected another blockchain update.
Instead, @movement_xyz showed a much bigger shift.
This wasnt just a rebrand.
It was a repositioning.
While most of crypto is still fighting for TVL, Movement is talking about licensed payment infrastructure, stablecoin settlement, dollar savings, and real users across emerging markets.
The Rails are not the loud part.
They are the invisible part that makes money move.
And Movement is rebuilding that layer for a world where money should move more like information on the internet.
Instantly.
Accessibly.
Across borders.
It feels like a bet that the next billion users wont come from crypto natives.
Theyll come from people who simply need a better way to move, save, and use money.
Movement is where money live

Stellar just proved crypto’s biggest myth wrong.
Everyone obsesses over stablecoin issuance numbers. But the real game is what happens after they’re issued.
MoneyGram’s live USDC ramps across 170+ countries are turning cash into instant cross-border payments for people who don’t even have bank accounts.
The numbers back it up… Stellar’s Q1 payment volume just hit $5.5 billion, up 71% year-over-year. EUR denominated stablecoin volume exploded 12x.
And the average transaction sizes? Small and RETAIL, exactly what everyday payments look like, not whale shuffling.
Even U.S. Bank is now testing custom stablecoins on Stellar specifically for fast, cheap payment rails.
Why we settled USDC payments on @arc
When we built @remloapp, we realized that settling payments on fragmented chains defeats the purpose of automatic USDC detection.
If a user pays you from base, but you receive USDC on eth, you still have the problem we’re trying to solve - managing multiple chains.
Arc solves this completely. It offers deterministic sub second finality, meaning the moment a payment is confirmed, it’s final. No waiting for additional confirmations, no chain reorgs, no uncertainty. For a payment tool this is non negotiable. Your customers need to know their money is settled and secure immediately.
Remlo acts as the universal gateway bringing global external liquidity into arc and arc ensures that liquidity stays unified and fast.
A good checkout removes uncertainty. A crypto checkout has to remove even more: chain confusion, wallet friction, confirmation timing, and support edge cases.

Thermal receipt paper fades, but the transaction record doesn't.
That receipt you kept for warranty purposes will be blank in a few years. Meanwhile, the merchant, the payment processor, and the bank all have permanent records of what you bought, when, and where. The paper is ephemeral, but the data isn't.
Stop relying on receipts for records and consider what permanent transaction logs exist about you.
🚀 USDD is expanding beyond traditional stablecoin use cases.
By supporting AI-driven payment infrastructure and programmable finance, USDD is helping bridge blockchain technology with the future of autonomous systems. 🤖⚡
