Stablecoin supply reached approximately $309.7 billion in July 2026, according to data from DeFiLlama, while Visa’s on-chain analytics recorded a 58% increase in adjusted transaction volume over the preceding 12 months.
Payment companies have started integrating stablecoins into their products, as they process billions of dollars during weekends beyond conventional banking hours.
Stripe completed its acquisition of Bridge in February 2025 and subsequently introduced stablecoin accounts across 101 countries, allowing businesses to receive fiat and crypto payments while holding dollar-denominated tokens.
XDC Tech has integrated Bridge, providing developers on the XDC Network with access to fiat conversion, virtual bank accounts, and multi-currency custody. This partnership supports business payments and stablecoin settlement.
XDC plans to extend these capabilities to future transactions initiated by AI agents. The network aims to facilitate automated payments, which require systems capable of completing transfers within the same digital session.
XDC claims its transaction speed and low fees make it suitable for automated commercial activities. The network reports finality of around two seconds, with transaction costs below one hundredth of a cent.
Atul Khekade, co-founder of XDC Network, stated, “Every layer of finance is being rebuilt for a world where software, not just people, initiates the payment. This partnership gives our ecosystem stablecoin infrastructure that already meets that bar.”
