Global Payins in Stablecoins
Receive tokenized USD payments globally into self-custodian wallets linked to your Cobre Balance#
Global Payins in Stablecoins enable businesses to receive stablecoins (tokenized USD) from external senders into a wallet linked to their Cobre Balance, across supported blockchain networks. Every incoming deposit is automatically screened for compliance before being credited, giving businesses a compliant way to collect international payments without depending on traditional banking rails.
This feature is enabled via API and Portal, and is especially relevant for platforms that need to collect stablecoin payments from a global, crypto-native customer base.
1. What Cobre Enables with Global Payins in Stablecoins#
With Global Payins in Stablecoins, Cobre enables businesses to:Receive stablecoins into a self-custodian wallet linked to a Cobre Balance (Global fiat or Stable)
Support multiple blockchain networks (chains) for the receiving wallet
Automatically screen every incoming deposit for compliance before crediting funds
Consolidate funds received across different networks into a single balance
Operate global payins using the same conceptual primitives as other Cobre flows:Account References (wallets)
Segregate incoming funds into dedicated wallets by entity or use case when traceability requires it
2. Global Payins in Stablecoins in the Cobre Model#
This capability fits into Cobre's ecosystem as a global collection rail that uses stablecoins as the funding layer:Cobre Balance (Global fiat or Stable) acts as the destination of funds for incoming stablecoin payins
Account References represent the self-custodian wallets that receive incoming stablecoins on behalf of the client
Transactions reflect the credited amount once a deposit clears compliance screening, and preserve chain and token details for reconciliation
3. Key Capabilities / Options#
Global Payins in Stablecoins are driven by three core dimensions: wallet type, compliance screening, and chain/token compatibility.3.1 Wallet Types (How you receive)#
Cobre supports three self-custodian wallet types depending on the destination network:evm_compatible — a single wallet address that covers both Ethereum and Polygon
tron — a dedicated wallet address for the Tron network
stellar — a dedicated wallet address for the Stellar network
3.2 Compliance Screening (Who can send you funds)#
Every incoming deposit is automatically screened before it is credited to the balance. Screening operates fail-closed: when there is genuine doubt about the origin of funds, the top up is blocked rather than the deposit being silently approved.Approved — funds are credited to the balance
Blocked wallet — funds are not credited; the wallet is marked as blocked, a terminal state that cannot be reactivated. Future deposits to that wallet are automatically ignored
Error or timeout — the specific deposit is not credited, but the wallet itself remains operational for future deposits
3.3 Supported Networks and Tokens#
Receiving wallets can be created on the following blockchain networks, each supporting specific stablecoins:| Network (Chain) | Wallet Type | Allowed Stablecoins |
|---|
| Ethereum | evm_compatible | USDC, USDT |
| Polygon | evm_compatible | USDC, USDT |
| Tron | tron | USDT |
| Stellar | stellar | USDC |
Cobre only detects and credits deposits made in a supported chain/token combination. Deposits in unsupported combinations are not processed.
4. Core Concepts and Terminology#
Global Payins in Stablecoins: Payins collected using stablecoins as the funding rail
Cobre Balance: The Global fiat or Stable balance that gets credited once a payin clears screening
Account Reference (self-custodian wallet): An on-chain wallet address created for a Cobre Balance to receive payins
Wallet: The blockchain address where the stablecoin funds are received
Chain / Network: The blockchain network where the wallet exists (Ethereum, Polygon, Tron, Stellar)
Token: The stablecoin used for the payin (USDC, USDT)
Sweep: The internal process that moves approved deposits from the client's wallet to Cobre's treasury after screening
Compliance screening: The automated review applied to every incoming deposit and to the sender's wallet before crediting funds
5. Speed, Settlement & Reliability#
Stablecoin payins are detected as soon as the on-chain transaction is confirmed, and go through compliance screening before being credited. Overall timing depends on:the selected network (chain) and its confirmation dynamics
the outcome of the compliance screening step
whether the wallet has any prior blocking history
mandatory screening before crediting any deposit
valid chain/token combinations only
standardized operational states for every wallet and deposit
6. Typical Business Use Cases#
Global Payins in Stablecoins are well suited for:Global marketplaces collecting payments from international buyers in stablecoins
Platforms with crypto-native customers that prefer to pay in USDC or USDT
Businesses consolidating collections made across multiple blockchain networks into a single balance
Cross-border service providers billing clients who hold funds primarily in stablecoins
Businesses operating in regions where receiving traditional international wires is slow or costly
7. Transactions, Reporting & Reconciliation#
Global payins in stablecoins follow a standardized operational model that improves traceability:Each approved deposit generates a credit transaction on the destination Cobre Balance
Chain and token details are preserved in the transaction metadata for reconciliation
The on-chain transaction hash is available as the transaction's tracking key, so deposits can be independently verified on a block explorer
consistent payin tracking across networks and tokens
structured auditability for every credited deposit
reconciliation against on-chain activity using the recorded hash
8. Governance, Controls & Auditability#
Global payins in stablecoins introduce strong controls through:Mandatory compliance screening: no deposit is credited without passing screening first
Fail-closed wallet blocking: wallets are blocked permanently when screening flags a deposit, preventing further exposure from that wallet
Chain/token compatibility enforcement: only supported combinations are detected and credited
Traceable operational states through wallet and transaction status tracking
controlled fund collection with reduced compliance risk
fast identification and containment of suspicious deposits
audit-ready records for every stablecoin payin received
9. Global Payins in Stablecoins vs Global Payouts in Stablecoins#
| Dimension | Global Payins in Stablecoins | Global Payouts in Stablecoins |
|---|
| Direction | Funds received from external senders | Funds sent to external counterparties |
| Screened entity | The sending wallet | The receiving counterparty |
| Networks supported | Ethereum, Polygon, Tron, Stellar | Ethereum, Tron, Solana, Polygon, Base, XRPL |
| Gating mechanism | Automatic deposit screening (fail-closed) | Counterparty verification required before payout |
| Terminal negative state | Wallet blocked | Counterparty failed |
Global Payins in Stablecoins are particularly relevant when businesses need a compliant way to collect stablecoin payments from a global, crypto-native customer base.
