MassPay + Coinbase wire USDC to 180 countries, slash costs up to 70% 💸

Cross-border payout platform MassPay and Coinbase announced a partnership on Thursday to integrate stablecoin infrastructure into MassPay's network spanning 180 countries. The arrangement pairs MassPay's payout orchestration with Coinbase's wallet infrastructure, custody and onchain settlement, enabling customers to move between fiat, USDC and other digital assets, the companies said in a joint statement.

MassPay CEO Ran Grushkowsky said stablecoins still represent a small share of the company's transaction volume, but the new rails are projected to support nine-figure payouts in the first year. He added that clients using stablecoin-based transfers have seen costs fall by approximately 40% to 70% compared with international wires, while settlement occurs near instantly rather than over multiple business days.

Under the partnership, Coinbase provides regulated custodial infrastructure and licensing while MassPay handles know-your-customer checks, sanctions screening and tax documentation across its global network. MassPay also continues to offer stablecoin payout capabilities through other providers, with the Coinbase integration expanding both capacity and institutional credibility, according to Grushkowsky.

The deal reflects a broader push by established payments and financial infrastructure providers into stablecoins. Stripe acquired stablecoin startup Bridge in February 2025 and has said it expects such infrastructure to accelerate cross-border commerce, while Circle announced its Circle Payments Network in April 2025 to connect banks, payment companies and digital wallets for real-time settlement using USDC, EURC and other regulated payment stablecoins. MassPay, for its part, is betting that pairing its 180-country reach with Coinbase's regulated custody stack can convert a still-niche share of flows into a nine-figure payout business within twelve months.
