#美国合众银行完成stellar跨境支付试点

Wall Street banks are starting to move stablecoins into their own payment systems

U.S. Bancorp, the fifth-largest commercial bank in the United States, has already deployed its dollar stablecoin, USBDC, on Stellar to run real cross-border transactions—not a sandbox test, but actual fund transfers between North American and European entities.

This means banks are beginning to verify something: public blockchains are not necessarily a bank’s adversary—they can also become the bank’s settlement layer directly.

USBDC supports minting, redemption, freezing, and clawback. In the future, it also plans to expand into liquidity management, collateral, and cross-border funds management.

But this doesn’t mean “XLM is taking off.” From September 8 to 10, $XLM dropped from about $0.194 to $0.175, while the futures OI briefly approached $200 million—suggesting that earlier capital was more focused on trading expectations rather than spot institutions疯狂ly buying.

What I care about more, though, is the fact that stablecoins are entering banking infrastructure. XLM may still be used for short-term trading, but what’s truly being repriced is the story of whether public blockchains can become foundational infrastructure for traditional financial settlement.
