Column integrates USDC into payments infrastructure for fintechs

USDC: USDC is a U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin issued by Circle, designed for use in payments, transfers, and on-chain applications across multiple blockchains. Column has added native support for USDC, enabling direct interoperability with U.S. dollar accounts and payment rails like FedNow and SWIFT. This integration positions USDC as a core component of real-time banking infrastructure for fintech developers. USDT: USDT is a U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin issued by Tether, widely used for trading, payments, and liquidity across blockchains including Solana and Ethereum. Column has incorporated USDT into its banking platform for instant conversion and transfers alongside USDC. The addition makes USDT fully interoperable with Column's existing payment rails and card programs without intermediaries. Column: Column is a federally chartered U.S. bank and fintech infrastructure provider that offers developer APIs for core banking functions including accounts, payments, cards, and lending. It recently integrated stablecoin support directly into its banking core alongside existing rails. This allows fintech clients to handle USDC and USDT transactions seamlessly with traditional payment systems through a unified platform. Developer Tools: Banks are releasing unified APIs that combine stablecoin handling with traditional services such as wires, ACH, and card issuing to reduce reliance on separate providers. Infrastructure Expansion: Fintech infrastructure providers are embedding stablecoin rails directly into banking cores to support continuous 24/7 operations across crypto and fiat systems. Payments Interoperability: Stablecoins are being connected to established networks like FedNow, RTP, SWIFT, and card schemes, allowing seamless on- and off-ramps within single banking platforms.
