Canza Finance integrates FDUSD with First Digital to support institutional stablecoin settlement
Canza Finance has formed a strategic integration with First Digital to offer FDUSD as an additional settlement option for institutional and B2B stablecoin flows. Over the past year Canza processed roughly $200 million in stablecoin volume, driven mainly by OTC activity and emerging-market cross-border B2B transactions. First Digital’s founder and group CEO Vincent Chok said the integration advances efforts to expand responsible, scalable stablecoin use cases, and cited Canza’s position in institutional settlement networks as key to driving FDUSD adoption in emerging markets. Canza said supporting FDUSD aligns with its mission to provide efficient, transparent and trusted digital-asset infrastructure for corporate clients. (Not investment advice.)

The integration is a positive infrastructure development but is unlikely to cause immediate large market moves. Adding FDUSD as a settlement option increases on-ramps for institutional and B2B flows, which can gradually support stablecoin utility and liquidity—beneficial over the medium to long term. However, the announcement lacks details on immediate liquidity commitments, exchange listings, or large custodial partners that would directly boost FDUSD trading volume or market capitalization. Historical precedents (e.g., new stablecoin integrations into payment rails) typically produce neutral-to-mildly bullish outcomes: they improve utility and adoption over time but do not instantly move spot crypto markets. Traders should view this as an infrastructure tailwind for stablecoin usage in emerging-market B2B settlement; short-term volatility impact is likely minimal, while medium/long-term effects depend on uptake, on-chain volume growth, and any subsequent partnerships or listings that increase FDUSD circulation.
