Today, Mastercard is announcing plans to expand settlement capabilities to include stablecoin, intraday, holiday, and weekend options, giving partners more choice in how and when transactions are settled. That means we’re: ✅ Enabling greater choice to settle in fiat or regulated stablecoins ✅ Improving liquidity management for time sensitive, cross border flows We’re supporting settlement with @Circle’s USDC, @Paxos-issued stablecoins including USDG,USDP and @PayPal’s PYUSD, @Ripple’s RLUSD and @SoFi’s SoFiUSD across a range of supported blockchain networks including Arbitrum, @Coinbase’s Base, @CantonNetwork’s Canton, Ethereum, @0xPolygon, @Solana, @Tempo and XRPL. ARQ Finance, CBW Bank, @crossriverbank, @Lead_Bank and @Nuvei will be among the first to support.

Not every digital dollar is the same. @Circle issues USDC, the stablecoin backed 1:1 by cash and short-term US Treasuries, with reserves attested every month by an independent accounting firm. It's one of the most regulated, most transparent dollars in crypto. And it runs natively on @StellarOrg, which means a USDC transaction settles in five seconds and costs a fraction of a cent, around the clock and across borders. You can hold it, send it, swap it, and receive it in LOBSTR like you would any other Stellar asset, without bridges, without wrapping, without touching another chain. The most trusted digital dollar, on the network, it actually moves well. 🦞

Everyone's reading this as Hibachi added FX. That's the surface. Here's what nobody is pricing: this is the first FX venue where you can write a smart contract that auto-hedges treasury. Traditional FX in 2026: ✅ T+2 settlement ✅ Bank intermediation ✅ Prime broker relationships required ✅ $5-15/lot rollover fees Stablecoin-native FX on @hibachi_xyz: ✅ Instant settlement (Circle Arc) ✅ Self-custody + ZK privacy ✅ Composable via smart contracts ✅ USDC-native, no fiat rails needed The trade isn't faster FX. The trade is FX as code. A neobank paying out in 12 currencies could auto-convert daily revenue without ever touching a bank. A treasury could hedge programmatically by event trigger. Three venues launched FX perps in 6 weeks (BitMEX, Kraken, Hibachi). Only Hibachi is institutional + programmable. Some advice for farmers: ✅ FX perps earn more points. ✅ Diversity bonus applies.
