Launching a Stablecoin: Become an Issuer or Partner With One?
Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
A payments company planning a branded dollar stablecoin for merchant invoice settlement must decide whether to become a direct issuer or partner with an existing one, per a Kelman Law editorial by Michael Handelsman. The piece frames the choice around the legal and operational burdens of issuing versus the faster path of partnering with an established stablecoin issuer. It matters because stablecoin issuance is increasingly a licensing and compliance question as much as a product one, with merchant settlement volumes at stake. What to watch next is how the company weighs control over reserves and branding against the time and cost of obtaining issuer status.
