Meridian 2026 shifted from announcements to deployments. BP Ventures identifies five production-ready integrations for payment companies: U.S. Bank launches USBDC stablecoin settlement on Stellar; MetaMask adds Stellar as default for 30M users; Airtm and BVNK connect to emerging-market wallets; Spiko holds $2B in tokenized money market funds earning yield; and Arcane pairs privacy infrastructure with regulatory compliance. The ecosystem now offers continuous settlement outside correspondent banking, wallet coverage spanning hundreds of millions of users, last-mile payout networks to underserved markets, productive capital for treasury management, and confidential transactions that regulators can verify.
