15T+ settled on-chain in 2024. Stablecoins now move more than Visa and Mastercard combined. But blockchain payments remain fragmented. Each network runs on different technical and compliance standards. Imagine what happens when it all works together. That’s what the Blockchain Payments Consortium (@bpconsortium) is here to build 🧵

Right now, there’s no shared language for blockchain payments. Different networks mean different rules, protocols, and compliance standards. The result? Friction, fragmentation, and missed potential. The Blockchain Payments Consortium (@bpconsortium) is here to change that.

Meet the Blockchain Payments Consortium (BPC). A new collaboration from @ton_blockchain, @0xPolygon, @solana, @StellarOrg, @Mysten_Labs, and @monad, and @FireblocksHQ. We're defining a global framework for seamless and compliant blockchain payments. To power the next generation of global finance.

The Blockchain Payments Consortium (@bpconsortium)’s mission: Create shared standards that work across chains and across borders Make blockchain payments faster, safer, and easier for everyone Bridge the gap between networks, regulators, and TradFi

“Over the last 18 months, our industry has achieved mainstream adoption, with payments at the forefront. As more established players enter the space, improving how we collaborate, coordinate, and operate together is essential. This is especially critical for Fireblocks, a key infrastructure provider that powers 15% of all blockchain transactions and serves 70% of institutions. The Blockchain Payments Consortium offers a vital platform to achieve this, and we should all actively support its mission.” - @RanGoldi, SVP Payments and Network, @FireblocksHQ
