What happened? Paystand is launching a Bitcoin-aligned stablecoin aimed at enterprise finance, betting that the next phase of digital-dollar adoption will move beyond crypto trading into accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll and treasury operations.
The new token, called USDb, was announced at Bitcoin Las Vegas and is designed as a dollar-backed settlement asset for business payments rather than retail transfers or exchange liquidity. Paystand said the stablecoin will be backed 1:1 by U.S. dollar reserves and initially rolled out across its own business-payments network.
Why does it matter? The launch marks a new attempt to bring stablecoins into the operating systems of corporate finance.
Paystand says its network has processed more than $20 billion in payment volume and serves more than one million businesses across North America and Latin America.
The company also acquired Bitwage in November 2025, giving it cross-border payroll and workforce-payment reach across nearly 200 countries.
That matters because most stablecoin activity still sits closer to crypto markets than corporate workflows.
Stablecoin transaction volume reached $33 trillion in 2025, up 72% from the previous year, according to Artemis Analytics data reported by Bloomberg. USDC accounted for $18.3 trillion of that volume, while Tether’s USDT handled $13.3 trillion.
But transaction volume can overstate real-world payments adoption.
Much of the activity reflects trading, transfers between exchanges, DeFi transactions and market-making flows. The enterprise opportunity is different: using tokenized dollars to reduce settlement delays, cross-border friction and liquidity costs inside business operations.
USDb aims to fill that gap.
Paystand is positioning the token as a commercial settlement layer for CFOs, not another consumer-facing stablecoin. It is built for AR, AP, treasury movement and cross-border payroll, with the aim of integrating digital-dollar settlement into finance systems companies already use.
