Payments company Checkout.com announced on Tuesday at Money20/20 Europe in London that eligible enterprise merchants on its platform can now accept stablecoin payments, powered by Coinbase Payments.
Stablecoins, including USDC, are now available alongside cards, wallets, bank transfers and local payment methods on the platform. Merchants continue to settle in USD through Checkout.com’s existing rails, meaning the back-end process stays the same while consumers get another front-end payment option.
Coinbase said the integration plugs its regulated infrastructure directly into Checkout.com’s platform, which serves more than 1,000 enterprise customers.
“Stablecoins are becoming a real way for people to pay, and our job is to make accepting them effortless for merchants,” said Meron Colbeci, Chief Product Officer at Checkout.com. “We’re adding this to a network already trusted to move billions in payments.”
Both companies linked the timing to clearer regulatory frameworks in Europe and the US, pointing to MiCA and the GENIUS Act. Checkout.com’s release cited McKinsey and Artemis data showing real-world stablecoin payments volume doubled in 2025 to $390 billion.
The launch follows Checkout.com’s acquisition of Blue EMI, a regulated issuer of euro stablecoins, in January.
