Coinbase Partners with MassPay for USDC-Based Global Payment Expansion
In a strategic alliance with Coinbase, MassPay introduces USDC-enabled international payment solutions, anticipating that stablecoin infrastructure will reduce transaction expenses and accelerate settlement times for companies making worldwide payments.
On Thursday, international payout platform MassPay and Coinbase revealed a collaborative agreement to provide stablecoin-based cross-border payment services.
This collaboration links MassPay's operations spanning 180 nations with the American exchange's cryptocurrency infrastructure, enabling clients to transition seamlessly between traditional currency, USDC and additional digital assets, according to a joint announcement provided to Cointelegraph by both organizations.
In an interview with Cointelegraph, MassPay CEO Ran Grushkowsky explained that while stablecoins currently represent a modest portion of the firm's overall transaction activity, the organization anticipates the innovative infrastructure will facilitate nine-figure payout volumes within its inaugural year.
Grushkowsky further noted that customers utilizing this system have experienced cost reductions ranging from approximately 40% to 70% when compared to traditional international wire transfers, with settlement occurring almost instantaneously rather than requiring multiple days as seen with conventional payment infrastructure.
This collaboration contributes to an expanding pattern of traditional payment processors and financial infrastructure companies incorporating stablecoin technology into their operations.
Companies such as Stripe and Circle, as examples, have similarly taken steps to broaden their stablecoin-powered infrastructure for international payment transfers.
MassPay deepens stablecoin payout push
Within the framework of this partnership, Coinbase delivers wallet infrastructure, custodial services and onchain settlement capabilities, whereas MassPay manages the final delivery of payouts through banking transfers, mobile wallet platforms and digital asset channels.
The two organizations divide compliance obligations between them, with Coinbase supplying regulated custody infrastructure and appropriate licensing, while MassPay manages know-your-customer verification processes, sanctions screening procedures and tax documentation throughout its global network.
According to Grushkowsky, MassPay has previously offered stablecoin payout functionality through alternative service providers and is currently expanding its operational capacity and market credibility through the addition of Coinbase.
Stablecoins spread across payment rails
In addition to the MassPay and Coinbase partnership, other major payment industry participants are similarly developing stablecoin-powered infrastructure for international transaction flows.
In February 2025, Stripe completed its acquisition of Bridge, a startup dedicated to scaling stablecoin adoption for business applications, and indicated its expectation that stablecoin infrastructure will serve a vital function in expediting international commerce activities.
Circle, on the other hand, unveiled its Circle Payments Network in April 2025 designed to link banking institutions, payment service providers and digital wallet platforms for instantaneous cross-border settlement utilizing USDC, EURC and other compliant payment stablecoins.
