Coinbase expands branded stablecoin infrastructure business with Flipcash USDF launch

The launch marks Coinbase’s latest push into white-label stablecoin infrastructure for businesses building branded digital payment and settlement systems.

Coinbase launched USDF with Flipcash, a Solana-based stablecoin backed 1:1 by Circle's USD Coin, as the crypto exchange expands its infrastructure business for companies issuing branded digital currencies.

According to Wednesday's announcement, USDF is designed to serve as the settlement asset for currencies created on Flipcash, a platform where users can launch fixed-supply digital currencies priced and transacted in the stablecoin. Flipcash said the token is intended to function as the primary dollar asset within its app.

In December, Coinbase launched its white-label stablecoin issuance service for companies seeking branded digital dollar products without managing their own reserve, custody or settlement infrastructure. The platform includes fiat onramps, wallet services and USDC (USDC) reserve backing. It previously identified Solflare, R2 and Flipcash among companies exploring launches using the system.
