Worldpay Embraces USDC Stablecoin Payments via BVNK Partnership, Expanding Digital Asset Options

Worldpay has integrated USDC stablecoin payouts for U.S. and European clients, marking a strategic push toward blockchain-based commercial payments. The move, enabled by crypto infrastructure provider BVNK and Fireblocks’ backend technology, positions Worldpay among the first major payment processors to adopt stablecoins at scale.

Gig economy platforms and digital marketplaces can now disburse funds in USDC alongside 135 traditional currencies. Stablecoins like Circle’s dollar-pegged USDC offer faster settlement and lower costs than legacy remittance networks—a key driver for adoption despite unresolved regulatory questions.

The partnership signals growing institutional recognition of stablecoins as viable payment rails. Worldpay’s global reach could accelerate mainstream acceptance, though the industry still awaits clearer frameworks for digital asset transactions.
