Stablecoins are becoming an increasingly common tool in financial markets, viewed as faster, cheaper, and more globally accessible than traditional settlement systems. Coinbase reinforced this perspective on Aug. 19, 2025, posting on social media platform X:

Stablecoins are just better. Faster, cheaper, and more global.

The message was in response to Bullish’s announcement that it had completed a $1.15 billion initial public offering (IPO) and elected to receive the proceeds in multiple stablecoins rather than conventional cash settlement.

The proceeds were distributed across a wide range of stablecoins. The majority were settled in USD Coin (USDC) and EUR Coin (EURC). Additional allocations included USD Coinvertible (USDCV) and EUR Coinvertible (EURCV) issued by Societe Generale-FORGE, Global Dollar (USDG) from Paxos, Paypal USD (PYUSD) from Paxos, Ripple USD (RLUSD) on the XRP Ledger, USD1 from World Liberty Financial, Agora Dollar (AUSD) from Agora, and EURAU from Allunity.

Most of these tokens were minted on the Solana blockchain. Jefferies coordinated the minting, conversion, and delivery as the IPO’s billing and delivery agent. Bullish CFO David Bonanno described the strategy:

We view stablecoins as one of the most transformative and widespread use cases for digital assets.

He also emphasized their operational benefits: “We leverage them for rapid and secure global fund transfers, especially on the Solana network.”

Industry figures underscored the broader significance of the settlement model. Lily Liu, President of the Solana Foundation, stated: “Bullish’s use of stablecoins in its IPO merges public market infrastructure with blockchain rails.” Coinbase executive Greg Tusar described the transaction as “a historic moment” that showcases stablecoins’ role in modernizing financial systems, particularly as regulatory clarity improves.
