- Seven leading crypto firms formed the Blockchain Payments Consortium (BPC) in 2024.
- The group seeks to establish common standards for crosschain stablecoin transfers.
- Blockchain stablecoin transfer volumes surpassed those of VISA and Mastercard in 2024.
- The BPC aims to integrate blockchain transactions with traditional payment data requirements.
In 2024, seven prominent cryptocurrency organizations announced the creation of the Blockchain Payments Consortium (BPC). Members include Fireblocks, the Solana Foundation, TON Foundation, Polygon Labs, Stellar Development Foundation, Mysten Labs, and Monad Foundation. Their goal is to develop a unified framework that improves blockchain transactions by aligning them with the data standards used in traditional payment systems.
This initiative comes amid a significant milestone for blockchain-based stablecoin transfers. Transfer volumes on these networks exceeded those of major payment giants Visa and Mastercard during 2024, highlighting rapid adoption and increased transaction activity.
The consortium will focus on creating shared protocols to facilitate crosschain stablecoin transfers. Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies pegged to stable assets, such as the US dollar, which aim to reduce volatility. By standardizing crosschain transactions, the BPC intends to enhance interoperability and streamline payment processes across different blockchain platforms.
According to the announcement, this collaboration seeks to build a “common framework that enhances blockchain transactions with traditional data requirements of traditional payments,” aiming to bridge the gap between blockchain innovation and regulated payment infrastructure.
