Published: 2025-10-16 17:01:20 |

Coinbase has launched a USDC stablecoin payments platform that lets businesses send, receive and invoice clients using USDC. The stablecoin payments platform integrates KYC/AML compliance, on-chain settlement, fiat off-ramps and merchant API support. It offers instant, low-fee cross-border payments and customizable payment links, helping firms avoid chargebacks, reduce volatility and simplify receivables. The service targets e-commerce, remittances and gig-economy firms. By leveraging blockchain rails, it boosts transparency and reduces settlement risk, aiming to drive USDC adoption and expand crypto payment infrastructure.

USDC is a fiat-pegged stablecoin, so its price remains anchored at $1 despite increased usage. The new stablecoin payments platform will likely boost transaction volumes and drive long-term adoption but won’t move USDC’s market price. In the short term, traders should see no direct price impact as the peg holds; in the long term, higher utility may support ecosystem growth without affecting the stablecoin’s value stability.
