Berlin-based German fintech startup, Ivy, has announced the integration of two major stablecoins in its payment infrastructure. The company has added Circle’s USDC and EURC stablecoins, taking a significant step towards bringing real-time digital finance across Europe.

The news was revealed via a press release in which Ivy revealed that its customers can now access the U.S. dollar-pegged USDC and euro-pegged EURC stablecoins through its platforms. The German fintech startup’s customers include payment service providers (PSPs), e-commerce merchants, and crypto firms. Ivy also offers multi-currency fund settlement to local accounts and instant bank payments. Their service portfolio now also includes seamless fiat-to-stablecoin conversions to their customers 24/7.

IVY Integrates USDC and EURC in Its Infrastructure

With this integration, Ivy is now one of the first platforms to bridge real-time bank payment infrastructure with stablecoin settlement at scale. This will allow businesses to mint or redeem stablecoins instantly using traditional fiat currencies. This integration positions Ivy as a key player in the evolving digital payments space, especially in Europe’s expanding stablecoin ecosystem.

Ferdinand Dabitz, Ivy’s CEO and co-founder, said, “Real-time payment rails and stablecoins belong together. Hundreds of merchants are already building on Ivy’s global API for instant bank payments. With native support of Circle’s USDC and EURC, our customers can now instantly mint and burn USDC directly from fiat via a 24/7/365 settlement layer.”

Circle, the issuer of USDC, the second-largest dollar stablecoin by market cap and EURC, the leading euro-denominated stablecoin, recently expanded its global payment ambitions through the launch of the Circle Payments Network (CPN) in April. The network is aimed at facilitating faster, borderless transactions, and the Ivy partnership aligns closely with Circle’s broader mission to streamline financial interoperability across fiat and crypto.

Stablecoins, once seen primarily as a tool for crypto traders avoiding volatility, are increasingly being adopted for mainstream payment use cases. Their predictable value and blockchain compatibility make them attractive for e-commerce, remittances, and cross-border settlement, especially when paired with platforms like Ivy that offer fast, secure fiat on-ramps and off-ramps.

By combining Ivy’s regulated banking connections and Circle’s programmable money infrastructure, the partnership offers a frictionless financial experience for merchants and developers. Users can, for instance, accept bank transfers from customers in euros or pounds and instantly convert them into USDC or EURC without delay, weekends, or banking hours getting in the way.

The addition of stablecoin functionality also positions Ivy to play a pivotal role in the evolution of internet-native commerce, where instant, borderless, and programmable money is key. The integration is live immediately and is accessible to all of Ivy’s existing partners. As the demand for faster, globalized, and more transparent financial systems grows, fintech companies like Ivy are at the forefront of a new wave of payments infrastructure that combines the trust of traditional banking with the speed and flexibility of blockchain technology.
