Californian Neobank Slash Bets on Own Stablecoin to Streamline Global Dollar Access
Slash, a Californian neobank founded in 2022 by Victor Cardenas and Jack Jia, is introducing a Global USD account that enables businesses to store, send, and receive both stablecoins and U.S. dollars.
According to a press release shared with The Defiant, the product leverages Slash’s own USDSL stablecoin, which is issued by Bridge, a stablecoin API platform that was acquired by Stripe in February for $1.1 billion.
With the Global USD account, the San Francisco-headquartered neobank says businesses can convert between stablecoins like USDT and USDC, hold balances in USDSL, and off-ramp to U.S. bank accounts using ACH, SWIFT, or wire transfers. The account also supports treasury management features for crypto-native firms.
