Key Takeaways:
Stables and Mansa partnered to launch a liquidity layer for USDT corridors across Asia on April 15, 2026. The move targets the 60% of global stablecoin flows in Asia that are underserved by 99% of local banks. Stables will leverage Mansa’s liquidity to scale its $1.5 billion annualized volume across 150 currencies.
Bridging Asia’s Stablecoin Connectivity Gap
Stables, an API-first infrastructure platform, has announced a strategic partnership with settlement provider Mansa to address Asia’s stablecoin connectivity gap. The partnership introduces a dedicated liquidity layer for Stables’ fiat-to- USDT corridors, allowing fintechs and developers to bypass fragmented banking systems and settle transactions instantly.
Although the region drives 60% of global stablecoin flows, only 1% of local banks currently support the technology, leaving 150 currencies underserved. Mansa, which has processed $394 million across 40 currency corridors since its August 2024 debut, will provide the settlement liquidity underpinning the integration.
“Asia is the world’s most active stablecoin market, yet the underlying pipes are broken,” said Bernardo Bilotta, CEO and co-founder of Stables. “By partnering with Mansa, we are providing the deep liquidity necessary to turn USDT into a functional tool for cross-border commerce at scale.”
Stables has seen rapid institutional adoption and now processes more than $1.5 billion in annualized payment volume. Its single API covers compliance, banking and settlement, offering a streamlined alternative to unregulated payment rails. Licensed in Australia, Europe and Canada, Stables positions itself as a compliance-first solution, handling identity verification, sanctions screening and travel rule requirements.
Mansa’s role is to supply short-term liquidity that stabilizes corridors during volatile periods, ensuring reliable on-ramps and off-ramps. This mirrors the evolution of traditional fintech, where orchestration layers integrate specialized partners to deliver seamless user experiences.
“Stables has built exactly what Asia’s stablecoin market has been missing — a compliance-first API that works across 150 currencies,” said Mouloukou Sanoh, co-founder and CEO of Mansa. “We’re excited to be the liquidity behind it, making sure the capital is there when the volume shows up.”
The partnership marks the first in a series of ecosystem developments for Stables, reinforcing its role as the orchestration layer for USDT in Asia. The company continues to expand its corridor network to meet growing demand from fintechs and institutions.
