Circle and Volante Technologies announced a collaboration on September 28 to integrate USDC payment and settlement workflows into Volante's platform, allowing banks to assess stablecoin functions alongside conventional payment rails. The planned capabilities include minting and redeeming USDC, registering beneficiary wallets, funding transactions, sending notifications and executing wallet-to-wallet payments. Volante says its clients include four of the five largest global corporate banks and seven of the top 10 U.S. banks, although the collaboration does not mean all customers will immediately offer USDC payments. The arrangement also addresses institutional on- and off-ramps, linking stablecoin transfers with bank accounts, identity controls, payment messages and treasury systems.
