TREE NEWS update: Stablecoin payments infrastructure firm BVNK, owned by Mastercard, has integrated the Stellar network into its platform, letting clients use a unified API for cross-border payments, merchant payouts and fund transfers. BVNK processes roughly $39 billion in annualized volume across more than 130 countries and territories. Mastercard completed its acquisition of BVNK in August.
BVNK Adds Stellar to Stablecoin Payments Platform
Stellar's addition to a Mastercard-owned payments rail is a signal that stablecoin settlement infrastructure is consolidating around a handful of networks with real distribution, not just liquidity. The notable detail is the scale BVNK already carries across 130-plus countries: Stellar is plugging into an existing volume base rather than being asked to generate one. Whether that integration meaningfully shifts where cross-border and payout flow settles, or simply adds another optional rail, is the open question.
