Stable Sea has announced a partnership with dLocal aimed at supporting international B2B payments using stablecoins. According to Stable Sea, the collaboration combines its stablecoin payment rails with dLocal’s local payout infrastructure, which covers more than 40 countries.
The arrangement is positioned as an alternative to traditional cross-border payment methods such as bank wires and correspondent banking networks. Stable Sea states that users will be able to route large cross-border payments via stablecoins, while relying on dLocal’s local payment rails for settlement into domestic markets.
The companies say this structure is intended to reduce settlement times and transaction costs, while improving visibility for corporate treasury teams managing international flows.
Treasury challenges
In its announcement, Stable Sea highlights that global B2B cross-border payments exceed US$35 trillion annually, yet are still largely processed through legacy infrastructure. It points to multi-day settlement cycles, reconciliation complexity and extended foreign exchange exposure as ongoing challenges for treasury functions.
By combining stablecoin rails with local payout networks, Stable Sea argues that settlement cycles can be shortened and prefunding requirements reduced, shifting cross-border payments closer to a real-time, treasury-managed liquidity process.
