TechFlow news, June 14 — According to Blockworks, Beam and Braid announced a partnership to provide stablecoin infrastructure for community banks and credit unions in the United States. Beam offers stablecoin-related infrastructure, while Braid helps smaller banks modernize products via APIs, such as real-time payments and new card network capabilities.
The initiative will start with seven banks in the Northeast and Midwest of the U.S., focusing on banks with asset management below $500 million by offering an innovation sandbox to unlock faster payments, cross-border transactions, and modern wallet experiences. For banks with assets exceeding $500 million, more direct integrations and enterprise-grade stablecoin products will be provided.
