Delivering real-time settlement for a stablecoin-native world

As 2025 comes to a close, we’re proud to look back on what has been a defining year for Credible.

This was the year we moved from early infrastructure pilots into production-grade, real-time settlement rails powering global payments. And more importantly, it proved something the industry has debated for years:

Stablecoins and PayFi can enable T+0 settlement at scale even while fiat systems continue to run on delayed clearing cycles.

Throughout 2025, we focused on one mission:

Make global payouts instant, reliable, and capital efficient.

And the results speak for themselves. 2025 by the Numbers

$250M+ in remittance volume settled T+0

In 2025, Credible processed more than $250 million in remittance volume using Circle’s programmable wallets, with settlement powered by stablecoins on Solana and Polygon.

By leveraging Credible’s PayFi credit layer, payouts were delivered on a T+0 basis meaning end users and recipients received funds instantly, even when the underlying fiat ↔ stablecoin conversions continued to clear on delayed timelines in emerging markets.

This separation of user settlement speed from fiat clearing delays is at the core of what Credible enables.

$60M+ financed via PayFi Vaults

Through PayFi Vaults on Solana, we financed more than $60 million in payments during 2025.

By advancing stablecoin liquidity at the point of settlement, PayFi Vaults allowed partners to:

Offer instant or same-day payouts
Remove pre-funding requirements
Maintain seamless user experiences even across T+2 / T+5 fiat cycles

In short settlement shifted from being a constraint to becoming a competitive advantage.

5 fintech clients live on PayFi + Settlement

This year, five fintech partners launched live production products on Credible’s PayFi-backed settlement stack.

They now deliver:

Real-time or same-day global payouts
On-chain settlement finality
Deferred fiat reconciliation without impacting end-users

These weren’t pilots. They were real customers, real transactions, real impact.

100,000+ unique users served

Across Credible-powered platforms, more than 100,000 users were supported in 2025.

This reinforces what we are seeing globally:

There is strong demand for stablecoin-native settlement paired with regulated fiat rails, especially in emerging markets where legacy banking continues to fall short.

Ecosystem recognition

Solana Colosseum Accelerator Stablecoin Track

In 2025, Credible was selected for the Solana Colosseum Accelerator, after placing 2nd in the Stablecoin Track.

This recognition highlighted the core question driving our work:

How do you deliver T+0 settlement in a world still built on T+2 / T+5 fiat rails?

Our answer PayFi-backed stablecoin settlement continues to prove itself both scalable and production-ready.

Looking Ahead to 2026: Expanding from Payouts to Collections

2025 was about global payouts.
2026 will be about global collections.

In the year ahead, we’re expanding our infrastructure to help global merchants:

Collect locally in emerging markets
Settle in USD, EUR, or stablecoins
Access real-time or T+0 fiat → stablecoin settlement

Our goal is simple:

Make cross-border commerce as seamless as domestic payments.

That means enabling businesses to:

Collect in fragmented, high-growth markets
Settle globally in programmable, trusted currencies
Remove FX, timing, and liquidity friction

And we will continue to bridge regulated fiat systems with crypto-native settlement rails do not replace one with the other.

Thank You

We’re incredibly grateful to our partners, clients, investors, and the broader Solana, Polygon, and Circle ecosystems for being part of this journey.

2025 showed what’s possible when settlement gets re-imagined.
2026 will be about expanding that capability to the other side of the payment flow.

Thank you for building with us.
