Nium, a global company for real-time international payments, has partnered with Coinbase to support USDC stablecoin payments. This feature is now live for Nium’s clients. Coinbase will handle the payment system, provide wallets and safely store the digital assets.
Nium’s clients can now send and receive stablecoins easily. They can also convert stablecoins into regular money (fiat) for payouts. This gives businesses one simple platform to manage both crypto and traditional payments.
Nium’s partnership with Coinbase makes it much easier to handle stablecoin payments. Businesses don’t need to manage things like liquidity, wallets, or regulations on their own. By using Coinbase’s APIs, Nium can offer stablecoin payouts across its global network, which covers 190+ countries and has over 40 licences. This creates a secure and reliable solution for banks, fintech companies and large businesses.
This setup helps businesses avoid keeping large amounts of money locked in advance (prefunding). Instead they can use funds only when needed, making payments more efficient. It also allows easy conversion of USDC into local currencies and connects digital money directly to real-world payment systems—all within one platform.
“The future of money movement is multi-rail. Fiat and onchain infrastructure will increasingly work together, not in isolation,” said Prajit Nanu, CEO and Founder of Nium. “This partnership with Coinbase makes that future operational today – giving our clients a single platform to send, receive and spend stablecoins at scale ahead of a fundamental shift in how money moves.”
“Stablecoins are transforming how money moves globally, and Coinbase is committed to enabling their use at an institutional scale,” said Alec Lovett, Head of Infrastructure Products at Coinbase. “By partnering with companies like Nium, we are extending stablecoin utility into real-world payment flows and helping institutions seamlessly connect digital asset liquidity with global fiat infrastructure.”
