Stables Taps Mansa for On-Demand Liquidity to Connect Asia’s Stablecoin Payments to Bank Networks

The deal points to a move away from locked-up prefunding toward short-term, stablecoin-backed credit for cross-border payouts.

Overview

  • Stables formed a partnership with Mansa to supply settlement-time liquidity for its fiat-to-USDT payment corridors across Asia.
  • Mansa will inject short-term capital backed by stablecoins so Stables’ on- and off-ramps stay available during market swings, replacing static prefunding.
  • Stables provides an API that lets fintechs plug in USDT payments while it handles identity checks, sanctions screening, and travel-rule compliance.
  • The firms report that Stables is running at about $1.5 billion in annualized payment volume and that Mansa has processed $394 million across 40-plus corridors since 2024.
  • Asia generates about 60% of global stablecoin payments, or roughly $245 billion, yet only about 1% of local banks support stablecoin transfers, which is driving modular setups that pair compliance layers with on-demand liquidity.
