Due

Due is a stablecoin payment infrastructure provider that connects blockchain networks with traditional financial systems. Its core business is offering APIs for cross-border payments, enabling businesses to send, receive, and settle in stablecoins like USDC or USDT, while also supporting local fiat on/off ramps across 80+ countries. The platform is non-custodial, meaning clients retain control of their private keys, with compliance features such as SOC 2 certification and built-in verification checks.

The main pain point Due addresses is the inefficiency of traditional cross-border payments, which are often slow, costly, and opaque. By leveraging stablecoins and local payment rails (e.g., ACH, SEPA, PIX), Due enables near-instant settlement at lower fees, with FX rates locked in advance to protect margins. Its competitive edge lies in combining blockchain speed with regulatory compliance, making it suitable for fintechs, payroll platforms, and remittance services.

In the past six months (February to August 2026), Due expanded its network by integrating with Tempo, a Layer-1 blockchain purpose-built for stablecoin payments, and added BNB Chain as its 12th supported network. This broadens access to high-throughput settlement and lowers transaction costs. Notably, Due restricts USDT services for EU clients due to MiCA regulations, reflecting its compliance-first approach. No major negative events were reported in this period.
