BVNK integrates Stellar network into stablecoin payments platform

BVNK, a stablecoin payments platform recently acquired by Mastercard, has integrated the Stellar network into its infrastructure. This integration allows enterprise customers to access Stellar via a single API for high-volume, low-cost stablecoin transfers across more than 130 markets.

The new capability supports use cases such as cross-border payments, remittances, and treasury management. While specific assets were not universally listed, BVNK documentation indicates that USDC on the Stellar network is available for customers in the United States. The integration enables businesses to utilize Stellar’s settlement capabilities without needing to build new blockchain-specific technical infrastructure.

This move follows Mastercard’s acquisition of BVNK for up to $1.8 billion, a deal intended to expand Mastercard’s stablecoin infrastructure and bridge traditional payment systems with digital assets.
