Thunes brings stablecoin payouts to 11,500 banks via Swift Connectivity, bridging traditional finance and digital assets.

Thunes has announced it is extending its Pay-to-Stablecoin-Wallets solution to banks worldwide via their existing Swift connectivity, allowing 11,500 Swift-connected institutions to send real-time payments directly from bank accounts to stablecoin wallets. The Singapore-based cross-border payments provider says the move lets banks make instant, 24/7 transfers in USDC and USDT to more than 500 million stablecoin wallets globally, without requiring additional technical integration beyond their current Swift setup. Launched initially in October 2025, the solution now effectively connects traditional financial institutions to blockchain-based stablecoin rails at scale. The product positions Thunes as a bridge between fiat and digital assets, combining Swift’s established messaging and settlement infrastructure with Thunes’ Direct Global Network and the speed and transparency of blockchain-based stablecoins. According to the company, this enables use cases such as salary payments, remittances, and business transfers to move instantly from bank accounts into stablecoin wallets across over 140 countries, with recipients gaining immediate access to funds and potential protection from local currency volatility. Strategically, the launch illustrates how incumbent banking infrastructure (Swift) and newer crypto-native instruments (stablecoins) are being integrated, signaling a further normalization of stablecoins within regulated cross-border payment flows and expanding their reach into mainstream financial services.
