Column launches stablecoin infrastructure with instant USDC and USDT conversion

Column has launched four new financial infrastructure products spanning stablecoins, card issuing, global banking and multicurrency accounts, giving fintech companies access to the services through a single banking platform. Summary Column launched four products covering stablecoins, card issuing, global banking and multicurrency accounts. USDC and USDT can be converted into U.S. dollars and connected with domestic and international payment rails around the clock. Column built its own issuer processor and now provides banking, processing and capital through one integration. Verified customers globally can access U.S. dollar or local currency accounts and cards using Column’s infrastructure. William Hockey said the new products are already moving billions of dollars for major fintech companies. According to Column co founder William Hockey, the rollout completes a years long effort to build the underlying components needed for technology companies to create financial products without connecting separate banks, payment orchestrators and processing providers. Hockey announced the products on Sept. 16, saying each service is already processing billions of dollars for fintech companies including Ramp, Brex, Bilt, Mercury, Slash and Kapital.

Transfers and conversions can operate around the clock, while clients can move funds between stablecoins, bank accounts and domestic or international payment rails without relying on an intermediary provider. The launch comes as stablecoins increasingly move into payment and banking infrastructure. crypto.news previously reported that stablecoin card spending surpassed $10.9 billion cumulatively, based on Paymentscan data cited by RedotPay in August. Monthly spending crossed $1 billion for the first time in July, compared with approximately $339.4 million a year earlier. Column stablecoin infrastructure connects crypto and bank payments Column’s stablecoin product allows businesses to receive and send USDC and USDT while moving between digital dollars and traditional bank money. Hockey said the functionality was built directly into Column and operates without middlemen. One example provided by the company involves receiving USDC from Mongolia, immediately converting the funds into U.S. dollars and splitting the payment. Part of the money could then be sent to a U.S. community bank through FedNow while another portion is converted into euros and sent through SWIFT. Hockey described the process as possible through a few API calls and said it could be completed within seconds.
