– Key Points: Fiserv is teaming up with PayPal and Circle to launch the FIUSD steiblcoin.

FIUSD is designed to optimize the settlement of digital payments.

The first transactions in the Solana network are scheduled for the end of the year.

Fiserv Inc. announced plans to launch FIUSD, a U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin in partnership with PayPal and Circle, expected to launch by the end of 2025 on the Solana blockchain.

The initiative aims to unify traditional banking and blockchain networks, improving digital payments for financial institutions and merchants through the integration of FIUSD.

Fiserv announced the imminent release of the FIUSD stablecoin in collaboration with PayPal and Circle. The new token, based on Circle’s existing infrastructure, will initially run on Solana. The stablecoin is designed to integrate directly into Fiserv’s banking platform, Finxact, targeting more than 10,000 financial institutions and six million merchants to improve settlement, transfers and account reconciliation.

FIUSD’s implementation implies that financial transactions will benefit from the seamless exchange of digital assets, facilitating big data transactions. By utilizing existing infrastructure without additional fees, FIUSD is positioned as a strategic tool for digital payments, leading to a potential increase in users and transaction volumes. The Solana platform may grow in transaction volume accordingly.

The reaction from industry leaders, though not yet published, is expected to focus on the benefits of scalability and FIUSD compliance. Sunil Sachdev of Fiserv emphasized that their goal is to help clients gain access to digital assets, which is in line with the recent favorable legislation on stablecoins in U.S. law. Fiserv’s statement did not receive an immediate response from regulators such as the SEC or CFTC, indicating a close attention to complying with the proposed legal framework.
