By bringing together two established leaders across fiat and digital asset ecosystems, the partnership kicks off a unified infrastructure that empowers both companies to scale and deliver frictionless payment experiences globally.
As Coinbase powers Thunes’ stablecoin infrastructure and Thunes powers Coinbase’s global fiat reach, this alliance will further help accelerate the real-world adoption of stablecoins. “By combining Coinbase’s broad suite of stablecoin solutions with Thunes’ network, the companies are unlocking seamless cross-border money movement across diverse use cases ranging from enterprise supplier payments and global gig worker payouts to instant international remittances.” – according to the press release.

Coinbase will power Thunes’ stablecoin infrastructure through its broad suite of stablecoin solutions, enabling Thunes to integrate stablecoins more deeply across its global network. This infrastructure will support Thunes’ expansion within the digital asset ecosystem.” – the company explained.
“Digital assets have become a core part of our financial ecosystem, but connecting digital currencies to fiat and local domestic financial systems remains essential for real-world utility. Thunes serves as the crucial bridge connecting traditional finance, mobile wallets, and digital assets. Together with Coinbase, we are enabling seamless fully compliant cross-border payouts, anywhere in the world.” – said Chloé Mayenobe, Deputy CEO at Thunes.
