The new capability, supported by BVNK and Fireblocks, allows Worldpay clients in the U.S. and Europe to issue payouts in USDC alongside 135 fiat currencies.
Worldpay previously explored crypto integration, starting with USDC settlements for merchants in 2022.
Stablecoins
Worldpay plans to start offering disbursements in
USDC, a move expected to lead to a broader adoption of stablecoins as core
commercial payment rails.
The crypto platform’s new capability will allow
clients in the U.S. and Europe to pay out funds in USDC, the dollar-pegged
stablecoin issued by Circle. The expansion is powered by crypto infrastructure
provider BVNK and backend connectivity from Fireblocks.
Regulatory Gaps Remain Despite Uptake
Businesses using Worldpay, including gig economy
platforms and digital marketplaces, will now be able to issue stablecoin
payouts alongside 135 traditional currencies.
Stablecoins are pegged to fiat currencies and designed
to hold a stable value. They’ve gained momentum as businesses look for faster,
cheaper alternatives to traditional remittance networks.
The recent uptick in stablecoin infrastructure, including
Stripe’s $1.1 billion acquisition of Bridge, has intensified competition among
major payment firms, Bloomberg reported.
“We're bridging worlds here: Worldpay's vast merchant
network and fiat capabilities with BVNK's embedded wallets and stablecoin
infrastructure. Looking forward to working closely with the Worldpay team to
bring this to market in H2,” Jesse Hemson-Struthers, the CEO of BVNK, commented.

This isn’t Worldpay’s first step into crypto payments.
In 2022, it began offering USDC settlements to merchants in selected regions.
Still, the company acknowledges that regulation and data compliance remain
critical challenges to broader adoption.
Stablecoin Infrastructure Gains Traction
For now, Worldpay's addition of USDC positions it as
part of a growing shift toward integrating blockchain-based assets into the
fabric of financial services.
The firm reportedly processed nearly $2.5 trillion in
transactions last year, and its pending acquisition by Global Payments, expected
to close in 2026, could accelerate further integration of digital assets.
As stablecoins continue to evolve from niche
instruments to operational tools for global businesses, traditional processors
like Worldpay may play a decisive role in shaping the next phase of digital
payments.

Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav sits down with Finance Magnates to discuss the core technology challenges facing CFD brokers and proprietary trading firms today.
Jadhav explains how the industry's reliance on batch processing and fragmented systems (where CRMs, risk tools, and trading platforms operate with separate 'sources of truth') leads to delayed data and inconsistent operational decisions. He argues that real-time event processing is essential for managing fast-moving trading activity and risk.
Learn how Altima's unified, event-driven architecture, connecting Altima CRM, Altima Prop, IB systems, and risk management through a single backbone, is designed to provide synchronous data and better operational coordination for modern brokerage and prop firm stacks.
Key Topics:
- Broker and Prop Firm Data Challenges
- The problem of delayed data processing (batch processing vs. real-time events)
- Fragmented systems and conflicting data sources
- Altima's unified, event-driven solution architecture
- The concept of a "risk-aware CRM"
- Built-in risk management in Altima Prop
