Stables, Mansa launch USDT liquidity layer in Asia

Stables and settlement provider Mansa on April 15, 2026 launched a liquidity layer to enable instant fiat-to-USDT settlement across Asia. The integration aims to help Stables scale its $1.5 billion annualized payment volume and to support USDT corridors covering about 150 local currencies.

The API-driven integration gives fintechs and developers a single route to settle transactions without relying on fragmented local banking rails, Stables said. The companies expect the connections to speed conversions between fiat and USDT compared with traditional bank transfers.

The partnership links Stables’ fiat-to-USDT corridors with Mansa’s settlement capital. Stables provides an API that handles banking, settlement and compliance functions, while Mansa supplies short-term liquidity to smooth flows during volatile market conditions and to speed on-ramps and off-ramps for USDT payments.

The companies said Asia accounts for about 60% of global stablecoin flows, while roughly 1% of local banks support stablecoins, leaving around 150 currencies underserved. Stables’ platform is designed to let businesses move funds across those corridors without routing through multiple local bank networks.

Since its August 2024 debut, Mansa has processed about $394 million across 40 currency corridors. Stables reported more than $1.5 billion in annualized payment volume and said its API also handles identity verification, sanctions screening and travel-rule obligations while managing banking and settlement connections.

Bernardo Bilotta, Stables’ CEO and co-founder, called the partnership ‘the deep liquidity necessary to turn USDT into a functional tool for cross-border commerce at scale.’ Mouloukou Sanoh, Mansa’s co-founder and CEO, said the firm is ‘excited to be the liquidity behind it, making sure the capital is there when the volume shows up.’

Stables holds licenses in Australia, Europe and Canada and positions itself as a compliance-first infrastructure provider for institutional and fintech customers. Mansa’s role focuses on supplying short-term settlement liquidity to reduce the risk of failed or delayed conversions between fiat and USDT during periods of price or funding stress.

The companies described the arrangement as the first in a series of developments for Stables. They plan to expand the corridor network to meet demand from fintechs and institutions across Asia by connecting specialized compliance, banking and liquidity providers into a single interface.
