Your customers are holding USDC. Is your checkout ready?

23.07.2026

The payments landscape is shifting, and we’re making sure you’re ahead of it. Stablecoin acceptance gives PSPs and merchants a fast, direct way to tap into one of the world’s fastest-growing payment methods. In LATAM alone, stablecoin transaction volume reached $324 billion last year, growing 89% year-on-year.

So, what exactly are stablecoins?

Stablecoins are digital currencies pegged to traditional currencies like the US dollar. Built to maintain value, they settle in seconds, run 24/7, and move across borders without waiting on traditional banking hours or legacy infrastructure.

The growing role of stablecoins in consumer payments

More than 150 million people worldwide hold stablecoins, creating a ready-made audience of consumers sitting outside traditional card networks. In markets like Latin America, people don’t hold stablecoins to speculate; they hold them because the value of local currency is too volatile to trust.

They’re ready to spend it. The checkout just hasn’t been ready for them, until now. 

The last thing merchants want is to leave customers standing at the checkout without a way to pay. But the case for stablecoins goes beyond reach: transactions settle in seconds rather than days, improving your liquidity and cash flow, and because payments are push-based and cryptographically secured, chargebacks aren’t part of the equation. For businesses preparing for what’s next – agentic commerce, programmable financial services and beyond – stablecoin acceptance provides a strong foundation to build on.

What does PPRO bring to the table?

Here’s the best part: you don’t need to redesign your checkout. Your customers enjoy the same familiar experience they expect, as stablecoins simply appear as another trusted payment option alongside their local favourites.

Consumers can pay from a wide range of wallet apps, across major networks, straight from their native chain. And unlike most stablecoin payments on the market today, ours are completely gas-free. Buyers pay exactly the checkout amount, nothing more. No surprise fees, no confusion, just a clean, seamless experience.

When it comes to settlement, you retain total flexibility. Prefer fiat? We’ll settle in your preferred currency, just like any other payment method. Want to stay native? Receive settlements directly in USDC on-chain straight to your wallet.

Stablecoins aren’t a future consideration; they’re an opportunity for the here and now. We are making it simple, flexible, and frictionless to activate them. If you are looking to expand your offering or reach new customers and sell globally, stablecoin acceptance is your next move.
