Paxos Launches Stablecoin Payments Platform and Instant USD Conversion
Paxos, a blockchain and tokenization infrastructure
provider, has launched a new stablecoin payments platform. This platform powers
Stripe’s Pay with Crypto product, enabling merchants to accept stablecoin
payments more easily.
Paxos’ infrastructure provides a full solution for
onboarding, payins, conversions, and payouts, aimed at accelerating the
processes for payments providers.
Stablecoin Payments Lower Costs
Stablecoin payments offer businesses a global payment method
that reduces costs and simplifies money transfers. They provide an alternative
to traditional card and wallet payments, often with lower fees and faster
processing times. As cross-border digital payments grow, stablecoins are
becoming a key player in the payment landscape.
“Stablecoins are the future of payments and money movement, commented
Ronak Daya, Head of Product at Paxos.
“Adoption and utility will continue to grow as enterprises
recognize how stablecoins provide instant, safe and low-cost settlement
globally; all meaningful improvements relative to legacy payment rails. Our new
stablecoin payments offering gives enterprises the infrastructure to onboard
clients, power pay-ins and payouts and move money globally.”

Facilitating Merchant Transactions
The Paxos platform allows instant conversion between USD and
stablecoins like PYUSD, USDP, and USDC. Merchants can choose to convert
stablecoin payments to fiat currency or keep them as stablecoin balances.
Paxos also supports refunds by converting fiat into the
original stablecoin and sending it directly to the payer’s wallet. This system
supports PYUSD and USDP transfers via the Solana and Ethereum networks, and
USDC on Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon.
John Egan, Head of Crypto at Stripe, added: “We’re always
looking for ways to make it easier and cheaper for businesses to accept
payments from their customers worldwide. Partnering with Paxos, we’re excited
to enable stablecoin payments for our users with our Pay with Crypto product.”
