As a member of the FPC, Metal Blockchain will collaborate with other leaders in the payments industry to address challenges like interoperability, fraud prevention, and financial inclusion. The platform’s capabilities in stablecoin issuance and tokenization will contribute to the FPC’s efforts to develop a modern, secure, and real-time payments infrastructure.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Metal Blockchain to the U.S. Faster Payments Council,” said Reed Luhtanen, Executive Director of the FPC. “Metal Blockchain brings valuable expertise and innovation to the table, and we’re excited to collaborate with them as we continue shaping the future of faster payments in the United States.”

The U.S. Faster Payments Council is dedicated to creating a payment system where individuals and businesses can make real-time payments with immediate access to funds, enhancing efficiency and security across the financial ecosystem.
