Paystand has launched USDb, a Bitcoin-aligned stablecoin designed for enterprise finance workflows including payroll.
Paystand has announced the launch of USDb at Bitcoin Las Vegas which is described as the first stablecoin built specifically for commercial-scale enterprise finance.
Unlike stablecoins commonly used for crypto trading or retail transfers, USDb is designed for accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll, and treasury workflows. USDb is supposedly backed 1:1 by US dollar reserves and is intended to combine price stability with the efficiency of blockchain-based payments.
The company added that its network has already processed more than US$20 billion in payment volume for more than one million businesses across North America and Latin America. Launch partners include Rootstock, a decentralised infrastructure layer built on Bitcoin; Blockstream, which develops Bitcoin infrastructure for institutional finance; and Ibex, USDb’s first minting partner and liquidity provider.
The company positioned the launch against a backdrop of rising stablecoin activity. Citing Artemis Analytics, Paystand noted that stablecoin transaction volumes reached US$33 trillion in 2025, up 72% year on year. It added that, although the market now exceeds US$300 billion in circulation, enterprise adoption remains at an early stage.
“AI is eating labour. Bitcoin is eating capital. Stablecoins are eating financial services. USDb is where those three forces converge, and we’re launching it with the largest real-world business use case on the planet,” said Jeremy Almond, CEO of Paystand.
The stablecoin is said to be built around business operations, AI-driven transaction environments, and Bitcoin infrastructure, and is designed to be compatible with the Lightning Network and Taproot Assets.
