Oobit, a digital payments startup bringing stablecoin payments to more than 100 million merchants globally, has integrated Plasma, the blockchain infrastructure built for stablecoins. The integration will help Oobit expand its service to meet the demand for real-world stablecoin payments by enabling users to spend USD₮ held on Plasma.
Stablecoins are among the fastest-growing segments of the crypto industry, with global mainstream adoption accelerating in the past two years. The total market capitalization of stablecoins has nearly tripled since 2023, reaching a combined $300 billion in 2025, while monthly transaction volume averages $1.25 trillion, according to a report by A16z Crypto.
However, a gap remains to be filled in the day-to-day usability of stablecoins, which is now being addressed by Oobit with partnerships like this.
Integrating Plasma with DePay
DePay, Oobit’s decentralised payment layer, allows users to pay directly from self-custody wallets, including Phantom, MetaMask, Trust Wallet, and Binance Wallet, offering holders the ability to pay with USD₮ as they would using regular mobile wallets like Apple Pay.
By building on Plasma’s high-volume stablecoin infrastructure, Oobit can fully realise its ambition of delivering a simple, everyday payment experience built for speed, reliability, negligible fees, and deep USD₮ liquidity.
Commenting on the announcement, Amram Adar, Co-Founder and CEO of Oobit, called stablecoins the “new money”, adding that Oobit’s integration with Plasma will let users spend them anywhere in the world with negligible fees. “The standard just levelled up,” he said.
Paul Faecks, Founder & CEO of Plasma, added: “To drive global adoption of stablecoins, users must be able to rely on them in their everyday lives. That’s the core of Plasma’s mission, and our partnership with Oobit brings us one step closer to delivering global, frictionless access to financial services powered by stablecoins.”
Oobit’s Expanding Stablecoin Payments Ecosystem
This announcement comes hot on the heels of Oobit’s recent launch in South Africa, one of the fastest-growing crypto hubs in Africa. Over the past few months, Oobit officially launched in Brazil, opening a regional office to accelerate its Latin American strategy. The company also has operations in Thailand and the Philippines, targeting Southeast Asia and the Far East Asian markets.
The company has also partnered with Bakkt, an NYSE-listed crypto onramp and offramp services provider regulated across all 50 U.S. states. This has created a faster route for Oobit’s entry into the country, where stablecoins are becoming more popular, following the signing into law of the GENIUS Act in July 2025.
