Under the leadership of Ryan Breslow, Bolt has launched its new initiative, Bolt Connect, aimed at enhancing merchant experiences through stablecoin support and streamlined processes.
Launch of Bolt Connect
On June 27, 2025, Bolt introduced Bolt Connect, focusing on simplifying onboarding for merchants and enabling stablecoin payments. This initiative aims to reduce the technical burdens associated with cross-border transactions.
Benefits for Merchants
Bolt Connect offers merchants increased efficiency and market reach through supporting stablecoins such as USDC and USDT. It is expected that the time and cost of cross-border settlements will significantly decrease.
Implications for Global Trade
Bolt Connect is anticipated to significantly impact global commerce by reducing friction in transactions. Increased transaction volumes within the stablecoin ecosystem could lead to a surge in demand for related services, indirectly affecting associated cryptocurrencies.
Stablecoin adoption could significantly reshape the digital payments landscape, providing incentives for broader acceptance and trust in crypto-based financial solutions.
