The Stablecoin Clearing Network is open to PSPs and EMIs that meet these criteria. Check any that apply:You hold an EMI, PSP, or MSB license (or operate under one)
You offer wallets or payment accounts to businesses or consumers
You process cross-border payments (payouts, remittances, supplier payments)
You use or plan to use stablecoins (USDT, USDC) for settlement
If you checked 3 or more you're likely eligible for network participation — and there's real value to unlock. Keep reading to see what you'll need and what you'll gain.
What You'll Need#
Joining the network requires four building blocks. Some you may already have; others you may be building. Here's what matters and why:| Requirement | Why It Matters |
|---|
| License | EMI, PSP, MSB, or VASP/CASP — regulatory authorization to handle stablecoins |
| Custody (MPC) | Secure key management for stablecoin wallets — Fireblocks, Copper, BitGo, or equivalent |
| Stablecoin Accounts | Your users hold stablecoin balances (not just fiat-to-fiat via orchestrator) |
| Cross-Border Intent | Active or planned use case for FI-to-FI stablecoin transfers |
| Issuer Access (optional) | Direct relationship with Circle/Tether for mint/redeem at par — free vs. 0.1-0.5% spread on exchanges |
Don't have all four yet? That's okay — most banks are still building. See "Your Path Forward" below to find the right next step for your stage.
What You Unlock#
Once you join the network, you gain access to use cases that would otherwise require months of bilateral integrations. Here's what becomes possible:| Use Case | What It Means for You |
|---|
| Cross-Border Remittances | Offer your users instant, low-cost transfers to recipients abroad — stablecoins are the backend rail, users see their familiar app |
| B2B Payments | Business clients pay international suppliers in seconds, not days — settlement via stablecoins, invisible to end users |
| Marketplace Payouts | Disburse to sellers, creators, or gig workers across borders instantly — routing rules handle complexity, no custom scripting |
| Payroll & Contractor Payments | Pay remote teams and contractors in their preferred currency/wallet |
| Corridor Expansion | New corridor = config change, not 6-month engineering project |
