Breez has added a stablecoin payment feature to its developer SDK, allowing users to send USDC and USDT from a Bitcoin balance across more than 30 blockchain networks.
The launch gives wallet and payments developers a way to offer stablecoin payouts without asking users to hold separate token balances or build direct support for each destination chain.
Bitcoin Balance Funds USDC and USDT Payouts
The feature routes payments from Bitcoin into USDC or USDT before settlement on the recipient’s chosen blockchain. Users keep holding Bitcoin until they start a payment.
The recipient receives the payment in stablecoins on the selected network, while the sender avoids managing a separate USDC or USDT balance.
When a user enters a wallet address, the Breez SDK identifies the destination blockchain, calculates the route and shows the amount, network and fees before confirmation.
Flashnet and Boltz Handle Conversion
The payment is routed through liquidity providers, including Flashnet and Boltz. Those providers convert the sender’s Bitcoin into the selected stablecoin and deliver it to the recipient’s chain.
That makes the stablecoin step part of the payment flow rather than a separate wallet task for the sender.
Lightning Keeps Bitcoin as User Balance
Breez said the new route uses the Lightning Network and automated conversion, rather than requiring USDC or USDT to be issued directly on Lightning. That keeps Bitcoin as the user-facing balance while allowing recipients to receive dollar-denominated stablecoins.
Breez said the feature is non-custodial and initially supports outbound stablecoin payments. Support for receiving stablecoins from external blockchain networks is planned for a later release.
Wallets and Remittance Apps Get Stablecoin Payouts
The release is aimed at developers building wallets, remittance apps, social apps and other payment products that want stablecoin delivery without adding many chain integrations.
Breez’s SDK already supports Lightning addresses, invoices, LNURL tools, fiat display rates, passkey login, multi-device sync and a stable balance feature that lets users view balances in dollar terms.
The company says more than 75 apps have integrated the Breez SDK, including Deblock, Cake Wallet and Klever.
30-Chain Support Reduces Integration Work
The launch connects Bitcoin-funded payments with dollar-denominated stablecoin settlement. For users, the change means Bitcoin can fund a payment while the recipient receives USDC or USDT.
For developers, it reduces the chain-specific work needed to add stablecoin payouts across more than 30 networks. Inbound support would make the feature two-way once Breez releases it.
