Nium Goes Live With Coinbase to Power USDC Payouts Across 190+ Countries

Coinbase provides custody, liquidity, and wallets to let Nium offer on-demand settlement without prefunded accounts.

Overview

  • Nium, in a Tuesday announcement, activated a live Coinbase integration that lets businesses fund cross‑border payouts in USDC and receive local fiat or stablecoins.
  • Coinbase supplies the stablecoin stack for Nium’s platform, including regulated custody, liquidity, and embedded wallets for USDC flows.
  • The service supports just‑in‑time settlement that removes idle prefunded balances and allows conversion to local currencies at the moment of payout.
  • Clients holding USDC can launch card programs on Visa and Mastercard that convert balances to fiat at the point of sale for everyday spending.
  • Nium says its network spans 100+ currencies, local collection in 40 markets, and real‑time payouts in 100+ corridors under 40+ licenses, aligning with broader USDC growth and new corridors from recent Circle partnerships.
