Deep dives
Building Infrastructure for Stablecoin Movement
Bridge is a stablecoin infrastructure company that aims to enable the movement of value using stablecoins. They provide APIs for orchestration and issuance, allowing users to convert different types of dollars into stablecoins and vice versa. This low-level infrastructure can be embedded in various fintech products, such as cards or banking systems, to facilitate seamless transactions and settlements. Bridge believes that stablecoins will become a core payment rail for dollar-based assets globally, expanding access and generating economic benefits. However, for this vision to materialize, regulatory frameworks and protections are needed to create trust and understanding in the market.
