Stables and Mansa They are trying to solve a problem that has become difficult to ignore in the stablecoin market in Asia. The demand already exists. The pipes, they say, are still not there.
The two companies announced a strategic partnership on April 15 aimed at improving Stable coin Connectivity is across the region, with Asia accounting for around 60% of global stablecoin flows but only around 1% of local banks currently supporting the technology. For a market spread across nearly 150 local currencies, this leaves a large infrastructure gap between the use of stablecoins and the banking systems dedicated to connecting to them.
Liquidity layer for a segmented area
The partnership focuses on a dedicated liquidity layer for the stable network of fiat to USDT corridors. In practical terms, this means that developers and fintech companies that use stables should be able to bypass more friction that comes with fragmented banking relationships and settle higher-volume transactions more quickly.
Mansa will provide settlement liquidity behind this setup. Since its launch in August 2024, the company says it has processed $394 million across more than 40 currency lanes. Stables, for its part, says it now handles more than $1.5 billion in annual payments volume, positioning itself as an orchestration layer that brings compliance, banking access, and settlement into a single API.
Compliance and liquidity are moving closer together
Stables also rely heavily on organization as part of the mission. The company said it holds licenses in Australia, Europe and Canada, and presents itself as a compliance-first alternative to more flexible payment bars. It handles identity checks, sanctions checks and travel rule requirements for customers, making the Mansa link less concerned with product taste and more about operational depth.
The broader ambition is clear enough. Stables wants to become a core coordination layer for the USDT ecosystem in Asia, while Mansa provides the balance sheet depth needed to keep the lanes running when volumes spike or volatility hits.
If successful, this combination would make stablecoin settlement in Asia look less improvised and more like real financial infrastructure.
