Bridge

Bridge operates a stablecoin-based payments platform that businesses use to receive, store, convert, issue and spend stablecoins. Its product set is organized into four areas: Orchestration (a single API to move, store and accept stablecoins), Issuance (issuing a customer's own stablecoin and converting between it and other fiat or digital currencies), Cards (a global card program for consumers and businesses), and Wallets (digital asset wallets at scale, with Bridge handling onchain security and gas management). Bridge states it handles the regulatory, compliance and technical complexity of integrating stablecoins into an existing flow of funds, and that reserves backing issued stablecoins are invested in US Treasuries earning 3-4%.

The company positions these products against four solution areas: cross-border payments, global payouts, onchain financial services (including USD access, paycheck deposits and stablecoin-backed cards), and crypto/DeFi (onramps and offramps, custom stablecoin issuance). Its Orchestration APIs support conversion between dollar formats including USD, EUR, USDC, PYUSD and USDT, and it offers USD and Euro accounts for consumers and businesses globally.

Bridge's launch announcement frames the problem as the cost and slowness of moving money between local currencies, citing examples such as 3-4% cost and multi-day settlement on cross-border business payments from Mexico, and limited dollar access for consumers in Nigeria and Argentina. Corporate entities include Bridge Ventures LLC, Bridge Building Inc (NMLS # 2450917) for US money transmission, Bridge Building S.A. (RCS Luxembourg B298785) for the EEA, and Bridge Building Limited for rest of world.

Founding story

Bridge's public introduction states that much of the team previously worked at Coinbase, where they led the development, launch and rollout of USDC, described in the post as the first scaled, regulated, dollar-backed stablecoin in the US. The founders say they saw the potential of stablecoins in 2018 and built Bridge as a stablecoin-based money movement platform.

Business model

Bridge sells stablecoin infrastructure to other businesses via APIs, covering orchestration, issuance, cards and wallets. It describes revenue opportunities for its customers such as earning rewards on issued stablecoins (reserves invested in US Treasuries earning 3-4%) and earning revenue on each card transaction; the sources do not detail Bridge's own pricing.

Not specified in the sources beyond a B2B platform/API model; the site references reserve yield from US Treasuries (3-4%) on issued stablecoins and per-transaction revenue on cards accruing to customers.

Traction

The company states it supports hundreds of teams and works with the US government, aid organizations and creator platforms for stablecoin disbursements; named customers and partners include Bitso, Chipper Cash and DolarApp. Its legal pages list card agreements with more than a dozen programs. It had raised $58 million as of August 2024.
