On April 15, 2026, Stables, an API-first infrastructure platform, announced a strategic partnership with settlement provider Mansa to address Asia’s stablecoin connectivity gap. The collaboration introduces a dedicated liquidity layer for Stables’ fiat-to-USDT corridors, enabling fintechs and developers to bypass fragmented banking systems and settle transactions instantly.
Asia’s Stablecoin Market: Massive Flows, Broken Pipes
Although Asia drives 60% of global stablecoin flows, only 1% of local banks currently support the technology, leaving 150 currencies underserved. This structural bottleneck results in high costs and settlement delays, hindering the practical use of stablecoins in cross-border commerce.
Partnership Details: Mansa Provides Liquidity, Stables Builds Compliance Hub
Since its debut in August 2024, Mansa has processed $394 million across 40 currency corridors, specializing in short-term liquidity to stabilize corridors during volatile periods. Under this partnership, Mansa will supply the settlement liquidity underpinning Stables’ USDT corridor network.
Stables has seen rapid institutional adoption and now processes more than $1.5 billion in annualized payment volume across 150 currencies. Its single API covers compliance, banking, and settlement, offering a streamlined alternative to unregulated payment rails. Licensed in Australia, Europe, and Canada, Stables handles identity verification, sanctions screening, and travel rule requirements.
Industry Impact: A Dual Breakthrough in Compliance and Liquidity
“Asia is the world’s most active stablecoin market, yet the underlying pipes are broken,” said Bernardo Bilotta, CEO and co-founder of Stables. “By partnering with Mansa, we are providing the deep liquidity necessary to turn USDT into a functional tool for cross-border commerce at scale.” Mouloukou Sanoh, co-founder and CEO of Mansa, added: “Stables has built exactly what Asia’s stablecoin market has been missing — a compliance-first API that works across 150 currencies. We’re excited to be the liquidity behind it, making sure the capital is there when the volume shows up.”
The partnership marks the first in a series of ecosystem developments for Stables, reinforcing its role as the orchestration layer for USDT in Asia. The company continues to expand its corridor network to meet growing demand from fintechs and institutions.
