Do you trust stablecoins as a reliable tool for handling large business payments and treasury transfers?
Eco has released an upgrade to its stablecoin API that enables developers to define transaction requirements before moving funds. This system ensures an all-or-nothing execution model to mitigate price risks during large payment flows.
Why it matters
The upgrade addresses execution costs and price risks that can cause significant losses on large stablecoin transfers. By securing quotes before funding, companies can avoid discrepancies that previously impacted the reliability of high-value treasury operations.
B2B stablecoin payments reached an annualized pace of $226 billion based on December 2025 activity, reflecting a 733% year-over-year growth rate. Total annualized stablecoin payments across all sectors currently stand at $390 billion.
The players

A San Francisco-based platform providing financial technology solutions and stablecoin payment infrastructure.
Hyundai Motor America
A division of the global automotive manufacturer that recently tested stablecoin treasury transfers to Mexico.
Rain
A financial technology company that sought a trust-bank charter from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
The details
The updated API features Programmable Addresses V2, which provide live quotes before funds are committed to a transaction. This process covers the entire movement from initial quote through cross-network settlement, ensuring funds are refunded if pre-set requirements are not met.

Macro View

For businesses handling large transactions, this update aims to stabilize costs and reduce the risk of losing money on volatile price swings. Consumers and corporate clients may see faster, more reliable automated deposits and international treasury transfers as a result.
The takeaway
Reliable enterprise stablecoin transfers require automated, pre-settlement guardrails to protect against market price fluctuations. Companies should prioritize payment platforms that integrate live quoting to ensure funds are not lost during conversion or cross-network transfers.
