Cobo Partners with United Stables to Power $U Stablecoin Infrastructure and Payments

Road Town, British Virgin Islands, January 13, 2026 - Cobo, a leading provider of digital asset custody and wallet infrastructure, today announced a partnership with United Stables, to support the launch and distribution of $U, a native stablecoin on BNB Chain. This collaboration delivers institutional-grade custody, payments infrastructure, and distribution capabilities to support the growth of the $U ecosystem.

United Stables has launched $U as a next-generation stablecoin to address one of the core inefficiencies in onchain finance: fragmented stablecoin liquidity. Through its partnership with Cobo, United Stables aims to accelerate $U's adoption across institutional clients and payments networks across the APAC region and beyond.

End-to-End Infrastructure Support for the $U Ecosystem

As a technology and infrastructure partner of United Stables, Cobo will provide comprehensive, end-to-end support for the $U stablecoin including:

Custody and Minting Operations: Cobo will enable institutional clients to mint, burn and swap $U directly through applications within its secure custody platform, providing qualified institutions and payments providers with streamlined access to$U.

Payment Integration: $U will be integrated into Cobo's payments infrastructure, allowing merchants and institutional clients to accept $U for transaction. Cobo's payments clients will also be able to convert USDT to $U via the Swap App on Cobo Portal, enhancing settlement efficiency.

Institutional Distribution Network: Through Cobo’s extensive institutional network, $U will gain secure access to exchanges, payment processors, and blockchain protocols. Cobo will provide the custody and wallet infrastructure required for frictionless $U integration across institutional use cases.

Future Innovation Pipeline: Both parties will explore cutting-edge payment technologies including EIP-3009 and x402 standards for AI-powered autonomous payments and programmatic payments, positioning $U as a forward-compatible stablecoin for the next generation of blockchain-based commerce.

Strengthening Stablecoin Infrastructure Across BNB Chain 

The collaboration leverages Cobo's extensive infrastructure serving over 500 institutional clients globally, processing hundreds of billions of dollars in annual transaction volumes. United Stables benefits from Cobo's deep integration with the BNB Chain ecosystem and established relationships with major payment processors, exchanges, and DeFi protocols across APAC markets.

This partnership follows Cobo's recent integrations with leading stablecoin and payment infrastructure providers including Google's AP2 agentic payments initiative. The addition of $U strengthens Cobo's position as the preferred custody and infrastructure partner for next-generation stablecoin issuers and payment networks.
