Coinbase has announced a strategic collaboration with Citibank focused on making it easier for global institutions to move value between fiat and digital formats.
What’s the Scoop?
- Institutional Ramps: The collaborative effort centers aims to improve crypto on-ramp and off-ramp infrastructure. The goal is to empower Citi's clients to more easily convert between traditional currencies and stablecoins with 24/7 payment rails that integrate digital assets into everyday financial workflows.
- Stablecoin Settlement: Together, Coinbase and Citi will explore stablecoin-based payment solutions and other blockchain-native mechanisms for cross-border settlement, liquidity management, and financial infrastructure efficiency. These solutions aim to help Citi clients reduce costs, accelerate settlement times, and enhance transparency compared to traditional systems.
- Bridging TradFi and Onchain Finance: By combining Coinbase’s industry-leading blockchain infrastructure with Citi’s vast payments network (which spans 94 markets and more than 300 clearing systems), the partnership hopes to build scalable, secure solutions for on-chain settlement, treasury management, and real-time global payments.
We’re collaborating with @Citi to build the future of payments.
