Coinbase and MassPay Holdings LLC linked USD Coin (USDC) payouts to a global enterprise network spanning 180 countries, according to a June 11 announcement. The partnership enables businesses to fund payouts in U.S. dollars, convert funds into USDC through Coinbase, or deposit USDC directly, then distribute payments across international markets through MassPay's single-API payout network. The integration combines Coinbase's regulated digital asset infrastructure and custody services with MassPay's last-mile orchestration across bank transfer, mobile wallet, and digital asset rails, targeting marketplaces, creator platforms, and multinational firms seeking faster cross-border settlement options.
Coinbase and MassPay Combine Infrastructure for USDC Enterprise Payouts
Businesses using MassPay can fund payouts in U.S. dollars, convert funds into USD Coin through Coinbase, or deposit USDC directly. USDC is a U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin issued by Circle Internet Group, while Coinbase provides custody and on-chain infrastructure for settlement.
Coinbase stated on X: "It's a good day for B2B cross-border payments. MassPay is bringing the power of Coinbase payments to their global enterprise customers. Eligible MassPay clients can now send USDC instantly, anywhere in the world."
The announcement explained: "The partnership combines MassPay's single-API global payout network -- covering 180 countries across bank transfer, mobile wallet, and digital asset rails -- with Coinbase's regulated digital asset infrastructure, institutional-grade safeguarding of digital assets, and extensive global licensing footprint. Together, they enable enterprise customers to move seamlessly between fiat currency, USDC, and other digital assets without managing separate crypto infrastructure."
Partnership Targets Marketplaces and Content Platforms with Global Payout Needs
Enterprise customers often face delays when funds sit across multiple banking partners before recipients receive payments. The integration seeks to reduce that drag by combining Coinbase's regulated digital asset infrastructure with MassPay's last-mile payout orchestration.
Coinbase further stated: "Cross-border payouts are slow, inefficient, and force businesses to prefund accounts across multiple corridors, causing huge delays. But that was yesterday. Stablecoins offer a much faster alternative, with less friction."
Marketplaces, content creator platforms, direct sales organizations, and other businesses with global payout needs could see the clearest operational benefits. The partnership is designed to reduce prefunding demands and separate payment-provider requirements while simplifying cross-border treasury and settlement operations.
