The collaboration envisions using stablecoins for instant settlement, signaling growing interest from traditional finance in blockchain-based payment infrastructure.

The move underscores how established financial groups are exploring stablecoins (digital tokens designed to hold a fixed value) as blockchain-based infrastructure matures.
