Fireblocks

Fireblocks is the institutional-grade stablecoin payments orchestration platform — purpose-built for fintechs, PSPs, exchanges, banks and crypto businesses that need to architect, secure and scale global stablecoin payment flows. Founded in 2018 and trusted by 300+ businesses worldwide, Fireblocks provides custody, transfer, workflow automation and connectivity as one enterprise infrastructure layer.

Fireblocks’ value is the connectivity tissue between the regulated financial world and the onchain stablecoin ecosystem. A single integration reaches 40+ stablecoin providers — on/off-ramp providers for 60+ currencies, liquidity providers, local banking rails, stablecoin issuers and blockchains — eliminating the need to build and maintain dozens of individual integrations.

The platform is open by design and neutral by nature. Businesses orchestrate cross-border treasury, payouts, remittance and merchant settlements with compliance embedded into every transaction: wallet verification, sanctions screening, AML, KYC and the Travel Rule.

Fireblocks provides technology infrastructure only. All payment and financial services are delivered by its partners under their own regulatory licenses; Fireblocks does not provide regulated services in the EEA — making it the reliable, audited rails layer rather than a licensed payment processor itself.

Best for: regulated institutions, exchanges, PSPs, neobanks and treasury teams that need institutional custody + programmable payment orchestration to build their own stablecoin product, rather than buy a packaged merchant checkout.

Fireblocks is enterprise infrastructure and is priced by custom contract rather than per-transaction — pricing scales with assets under custody (AUC), transaction throughput, integrations used and the number of seats/workspaces. Commercial terms are negotiated with the Fireblocks team during onboarding.

Cost model

• Platform subscription — tiered annual platform fee based on AUC band, asset coverage and production API request volume.
• Custody & transfer — no per-transfer network markup; clients pay underlying gas/network fees, Fireblocks MPC secures and signs.
• Partner rails — on/off-ramp, FX and liquidity provider fees flow through at cost — Fireblocks surfaces the options, the partner price applies.
• Custom enterprise pricing — volume discounts and bespoke terms for high-throughput PSPs, exchanges and banks.

Settlement

• Instant onchain settlement — Fireblocks signs and broadcasts transactions; finality depends on the destination chain.
• Connect to partner rails for fiat on/off-ramp in 60+ currencies.
• Stablecoin-to-fiat conversion handled by integrated liquidity partners, not by Fireblocks itself.

How it differs from a merchant gateway

• Fireblocks is not a hosted checkout for end consumers — it is the orchestration + custody layer that PSPs and banks build their checkout on top of.
• Fees are platform-level, not % of card-not-present transactions.

• Purpose-built for cross-border treasury, payouts, remittance and merchant settlement flows.
