McKinsey estimates that, at the current growth rate, daily volumes for stablecoins could reach $250 billion within the next three years.
Stablecoins are emerging as the backbone of digital money, offering stability, programmability, and global utility without the volatility of traditional cryptocurrencies.
Yet stablecoins can barely manage $30 billion in daily transaction volume currently, less than 1% of global transaction volume. For most users and financial apps, converting from fiat into stablecoins remains a fragmented, costly, and compliance-heavy process.
That’s where infrastructure providers like Transak chip in. By embedding compliance, payments, and conversion into a single native flow, Transak is making stablecoin onboarding as simple as a click.
This article explores how Transak abstracts complexity, powers global apps, and unlocks new financial use cases.
The Challenges in Traditional Stablecoin Onboarding
For most users, stablecoin onboarding often means juggling multiple platforms. They must register at an exchange, pass KYC, move funds, pay gas fees, and bridge to their app of choice.
For businesses, the backend is equally complex. They must balance fraud prevention, compliance, regional fiat rails, chargeback risks, and liquidity sourcing before they can start accepting stablecoin as payments.
This messy middle is where most of the friction lives. The biggest challenge in the process of abstracting this messy middle of stablecoin payments isn’t user demand. It’s stitching together dozens of infrastructure layers into a seamless experience.
Transak’s Approach: Abstracting Complexity
Transak solves this by embedding all the infrastructure layers,including auth, KYC/AML, risk checks, local payment rails, and crypto execution, into a modular, developer-friendly stack. Apps can integrate Transak via widget, API, or SDK, giving them flexibility while ensuring compliance and user trust.
Any business integrating Transak into its payments gets:
- Fully Native UX: Transak ensures that users never face confusing redirects or third-party aggregator flows. Instead, everything happens in-app, maintaining the brand identity of the partner application and delivering a seamless experience.
- Transparent Pricing: Stablecoin purchases through Transak happen with clear fees and minimal spreads. This transparency builds user trust and removes the hidden costs that often discourage adoption.
- Multiple Payment Methods: Transak supports a wide range of payment methods, including credit and debit cards, local bank transfers, and several regional payment options.
- Compliance Built-In: All transactions are safeguarded by integrated licensing, AML checks, and fraud protection. By embedding compliance into its core infrastructure, Transak removes one of the biggest hurdles for apps and FinTechs adopting stablecoins.
