The company says the product allows partners to issue stablecoins backed 1:1 by USDC and other dollar stablecoins.<\/p>\n<p>The product page says Coinbase manages issuance, reserves, smart contracts, and onchain operations. It also says custom stablecoins are redeemable 1:1 with USDC, while partners can use the tokens for payments, treasury, rewards, and DeFi use cases.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe launched USDF with Coinbase because they delivered everything we needed,\u201d Flipcash founder and CEO Ted Livingston <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coinbase.com\/en-gb\/developer-platform\/products\/stablecoin-as-a-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">said<\/a> in a quote published on Coinbase\u2019s Custom Stablecoins page. He said Coinbase helped support the consumer experience Flipcash wanted to build.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Coinbase expands USDC use across payments and settlement<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Related crypto.news coverage in December reported that Coinbase\u2019s Custom Stablecoins service allows businesses to issue branded, USDC-backed tokens through Coinbase Business. That report said the service covers issuance, custody, and compliance support for participating companies.<\/p>\n<p>Coinbase has also been growing USDC use in payments and settlement. Separate crypto.news coverage said Nium integrated Coinbase infrastructure to support USDC-based cross-border payments across more than 190 countries. That setup allows businesses to fund payouts in USDC and settle in stablecoins or local currencies.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stablecoin infrastructure competition grows<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>USDF comes as more companies build stablecoin payment and settlement products. Coinbase is not only offering a stablecoin asset. It is offering the infrastructure that lets other companies place their own brand on a dollar-backed token.<\/p>\n<p>The model places Coinbase in a growing market for white-label stablecoin tools. Businesses can use these systems to issue branded digital dollars while relying on larger providers for custody, reserves, access to fiat rails, and onchain operations.<\/p>\n<p>For Flipcash, USDF gives the app a dollar unit for its user-created currencies. For Coinbase, the launch adds another live example of its stablecoin infrastructure strategy as companies test branded digital dollars for consumer apps, payments, and settlement.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coinbase and Flipcash have launched USDF, a Solana-based custom stablecoin fully backed by USDC, as Coinbase expands its branded stablecoin infrastructure business.
