dLocal Limited announced a partnership with Stable Sea to provide businesses with low‑cost, high‑speed B2B stablecoin payments across emerging markets.
The collaboration combines Stable Sea’s stablecoin infrastructure, which supports high‑value transactions of up to $50 million per ticket, with dLocal’s local payment rails in more than 40 countries. Treasury teams can route large‑ticket cross‑border payments through stablecoin rails while leveraging dLocal’s proven payout network.
The deal expands dLocal’s product portfolio beyond traditional card‑on‑file and local payment methods, positioning the company to capture a growing segment of treasury‑focused cross‑border transactions that demand faster settlement and lower fees. By integrating stablecoin technology, dLocal can offer merchants a modern alternative to legacy bank wires and correspondent banking, potentially increasing its take rate and deepening merchant relationships.
dLocal’s Q3 2025 results provide context for the partnership. Revenue reached $282.5 million, up 52 % year‑over‑year, while gross margin fell to 37 % from 42 % a year earlier, largely due to currency devaluation and margin pressure in markets such as Egypt, Argentina and Mexico. Total payment volume grew to $10.4 billion, a 59 % increase, driven by strong volumes in frontier markets including Colombia, Bolivia and Nigeria.
Tanner Taddeo, CEO and Co‑Founder of Stable Sea, said, “By partnering with dLocal, we’re combining stablecoin rails with best‑in‑class local payment infrastructure to give businesses faster, cheaper, and more predictable global settlement. This is how international payments should work in 2026.” Rocio Rodriguez Saa, Crypto Vertical Lead at dLocal, added, “Businesses operating in emerging markets need reliable, scalable payment infrastructure. Working with Stable Sea allows us to extend our local market expertise into stablecoin‑enabled workflows, helping businesses reduce friction and move money more efficiently across borders.”
The partnership is part of dLocal’s broader strategy to broaden its one‑stop‑shop platform and enter higher‑margin product spaces such as BNPL and stablecoins. The move is expected to enhance dLocal’s competitive moat in emerging markets and open new revenue channels, supporting the company’s long‑term growth trajectory.
The partnership follows dLocal’s recent announcement of a new dividend plan and 23 % revenue growth, which has already attracted positive investor attention.
