This is a super-smart move by @Circle, expanding the Circle Payments Network after their Managed Payments launch. @Tazapay brings $25b in annual volume (via @FireblocksHQ) plus licenses that are hard to come by. Great for the space, great for the infra that powers 70%+ of it.

Circle has signed an agreement to acquire @tazapay, a cross-border payments company supporting businesses across 100+ markets.

Tazapay brings a payments-native team, 60+ banking and fintech partners, and meaningful stablecoin payment volume, with more than 60% of its volume running on stablecoins as of July 31, 2026.

Together, we’re working to expand stablecoin-powered payment infrastructure for businesses moving value globally.

Last time @Visa, @Mastercard and @AmericanExpress came together was 1996, to create EMV, a standard for cards (actually a cool story, read about it).

30 years after, they are creating a standard for Stablecoins (and they included Fireblocks as well). It worked for the card space, so let's see what happens next. :)

Seven providers means seven reconciliation headaches, seven compliance conversations, seven points of failure. Integration isn't a nice-to-have. It's the product.

“Standalone products are losing relevance. Users want one integrated solution, not seven different providers.”

Many PSPs talk the talk, Checkout actually walks the blockchain walk as well.

As of today, if you’re a @Checkout merchant, you should ask (demand!) them to settle with you 24/7 using Stablecoins. Yes, 24/7.

Why? Because you want your capital management to be as efficient as possible, so you could do more for your business.

Congrats to the amazing Checkout and Fireblocks teams for working on this -

Lots of "agentic commerce" announcements lately. Most of it is PR masquerading as product.

We took our time. Talked to customers. Built the governance layer that's actually missing from the stack.

New article on what agentic payments need to work at scale 👇
