Coinbase expands stablecoin payments through Checkout.com

Coinbase is expanding the use of stablecoins in online commerce through a new partnership with Checkout.com that will allow more than 1,000 enterprise merchants to accept digital dollar payments.

The integration enables eligible merchants to accept payments in USD Coin (USDC) and Tether (USDT) through their existing Checkout.com infrastructure while continuing to settle transactions in US dollars.

“Stablecoins are becoming part of everyday commerce,”

Coinbase said.

The partnership is powered by Coinbase Payments, which provides the infrastructure needed for merchants to accept blockchain-based payments without requiring separate crypto integrations or major changes to existing checkout systems.

Visa data cited by Coinbase showed stablecoin transaction volume reached $10.2 trillion over the past 12 months, representing a 63% increase from a year earlier and highlighting growing adoption of digital dollar payments.

“No separate crypto integration required,”

Coinbase said, describing the service as a streamlined path for enterprise merchants seeking access to stablecoin transactions.

The rollout targets markets where traditional card access is limited, local currencies are volatile or stablecoins already play a significant role in payments, with future adoption rates likely determining whether USDC and USDT become more widely used in mainstream online commerce.
