Digital dollars are turning up wherever people already keep their money. A self-custody wallet now takes bank transfers in dollars and euros, Colombia’s instant-payments network is testing USDC, and Stellar keeps adding tokenized funds next to the stablecoins it already moves.
- Bitget Wallet’s 100 million users can now receive dollar and euro bank transfers through Noah.
- Circle and ACI are piloting USDC on Bre-B, Colombia’s instant-payments network.
- 503,000: SoFi’s first count of the crypto products its members hold.
- Securitize, the firm behind BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, has added Stellar.
Each one brings digital dollars a step closer to the accounts and payment networks people use every week.
Bitget Wallet adds dollar and euro accounts

Noah and Bitget Wallet have launched virtual US dollar and euro accounts for Bitget Wallet’s roughly 100 million users. Deposits arrive by ACH, Fedwire, SEPA or SWIFT, and users can convert them into stablecoins held in the app’s self-custodial wallet.
Noah handles compliance, FX and settlement, and aims the service at people in high-inflation economies, where opening a dollar or euro account is often hard. Earlier this month Western Union picked Noah for its stablecoin payments network.
Zypto take: For someone paid in a currency that loses value every month, a dollar balance in their own wallet changes what they can plan for, and an ordinary bank transfer is an easy way in. In Zypto App you can buy USDC and other stablecoins and keep the keys on your own phone. Download Zypto App.
Circle tests USDC on Colombia’s Bre-B

Circle is working with payments technology firm ACI Worldwide to pilot USDC on Bre-B, Colombia’s instant, account-to-account payments network. ACI built Bre-B’s central infrastructure, and the pilot pairs USDC with its Connetic orchestration platform.
The aim is to show banks how stablecoin settlement can run alongside the country’s existing real-time payments. Colombia has high remittance volumes, and many households keep dollar savings as a hedge against inflation. Circle hasn’t given a launch date.
Zypto take: Colombians already save in dollars and receive money from family abroad, so USDC on the instant network they use every day meets a habit that’s already there. Holding USDC in your own wallet means those dollars move when you decide, weekends included.
SoFi passes 503,000 crypto products

SoFi reported 503,000 crypto products at the end of the third quarter, the first time it has broken out that number. Gross crypto transaction revenue reached $161.6 million, up 20% from the second quarter.
SoFi Invest held 4.18 million products in total as of September 30, up 37% year over year, and the company has recently expanded into stablecoins.
Zypto take: Half a million crypto products at a mainstream finance app shows crypto settling in next to savings, loans and investing. Once people start, they want range, and the multichain wallet in Zypto App covers 20+ blockchains, 24,000+ crypto assets and 1,000,000+ crosschain routes.
Securitize brings tokenization to Stellar

Securitize, which issues and manages BlackRock’s BUIDL tokenized money market fund, has added Stellar to its supported blockchains, joining Ethereum, Solana and Avalanche. It announced the move at Meridian 2026, the Stellar Development Foundation’s conference in Lisbon.
Franklin Templeton already runs a tokenized money market fund on Stellar, and MoneyGram moves money across the network every day. Securitize hasn’t said yet which assets it will issue there.
Zypto take: Stellar is the network behind USDC to Cash in Zypto App, where you can access cash from USDC at participating MoneyGram locations. With Securitize joining Franklin Templeton on Stellar, tokenized funds and counter cash now share one network, which puts very little distance between an onchain balance and money in hand.
