Paystand, a leading blockchain-powered B2B payments network, today announced the first stablecoin built from the ground up for commercial-scale enterprise finance.
According to the company, USDb is not designed for crypto trading or retail transfers, it is designed to work inside the accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll, and treasury workflows that run the global economy.
Partners include Rootstock, a decentralized infrastructure layer built on top of the Bitcoin network, Blockstream, a leader in building Bitcoin's foundational infrastructure for institutional finance, and Ibex, USDb's first minting partner and liquidity provider.
USDb is a Bitcoin-aligned stablecoin backed 1:1 by USD reserves, designed to deliver price stability while unlocking the efficiency of blockchain-based payments.
It launches with immediate, real-world adoption: Paystand's network has already processed more than $20 billion in payment volume for over one million businesses across North America and Latin America, the company said.
"AI is eating labor. Bitcoin is eating capital. Stablecoins are eating financial services. USDb is where those three forces converge, and we're launching it with the largest real-world business use case on the planet. USDb gives businesses a programmable digital dollar that works where they actually work. This isn't infrastructure waiting for customers. This is the moment the B2B economy goes on-chain,” said Jeremy Almond, CEO, Paystand.
USDb enters the market with a fundamentally different positioning: not a crypto instrument, but a commercial-grade settlement layer for the workflows CFOs actually manage, the vendor said.
According to the company, USDb is built around the three 'B's, the converging forces of enterprise-grade financial operations ("business"), AI-driven agentic transaction environments ("bots"), and Bitcoin's global infrastructure:
- Business:USDb is engineered for commercial-scale operations, AR, AP, cross-border payroll, and treasury management, with native mapping to ERP ledgers and existing business workflows.
- Bots (Agentic AI):As AI systems take over financial decision-making and machine-to-machine transactions become the norm, USDb provides the programmable, always-on settlement rail that intelligent financial systems require.
- Bitcoin:USDb is natively anchored on Rootstock, extending Bitcoin's proof-of-work security into programmable enterprise finance. In partnership with Blockstream, USDb is also compatible with the Liquid Network, enabling seamless integration across the Bitcoin ecosystem. This multi-network architecture allows USDb to move efficiently across Bitcoin-based infrastructure, combining smart contract programmability with the security of Bitcoin's base layer, all in a single stablecoin built for business.
The new stablecoin brings AI, the digital economy, and enterprise workflows into a single financial layer for the next generation of global commerce. USDb encompasses a full ecosystem, including Bitcoin infrastructure and issuance partners; banking and reserve partners; liquidity, FX, and off-ramp providers; wallet, custody, and security partners; and compliance and reporting infrastructure.
USDb is rolling out first to Paystand's network. Over the course of 2026, Paystand will expand availability to external partners, additional enterprise customers, and a growing ecosystem of Bitcoin infrastructure providers spanning smart contracts, interoperability layers, and liquidity, the company said.
