Rhino.fi has introduced cross-stablecoin acceptance for its Smart Deposit Addresses, a move that allows businesses to accept a wide array of dollar and euro-pegged tokens while settling in a single preferred asset. This update addresses the growing fragmentation of the stablecoin market, enabling enterprises to maintain streamlined accounting despite the proliferation of new digital currencies.

What was announced

Rhino.fi has expanded its Smart Deposit Addresses to support a broad spectrum of stablecoins, moving beyond native ETH to include both dollar and euro-denominated assets. The system functions as a clearing house: counterparties can send the specific tokens they hold, while the receiving business automatically settles into its chosen asset. This infrastructure currently supports over 30 networks, though Rhino.fi reports that active chain usage among its clients has recently consolidated from 27 networks to 10, with Base and Tron now representing more than 50% of platform volume.

The dollar-based assets supported include USDT, USDC, PYUSD, DAI, USDG, USDe, USDS, USD1, and USAT. On the euro side, the platform accepts EURC, EURe, EURv, and EURCV. While native ETH is currently live, Rhino.fi is developing support for BTC, SOL, BNB, and TRX. The platform also offers onchain FX capabilities; dollar-to-euro conversions are handled at prevailing market rates during the deposit process, while stablecoins within the same currency settle 1:1. This allows a business to issue a euro invoice and receive payment in a dollar stablecoin without utilizing traditional correspondent banking or card network rails.

"Over the last year, the number of chains in active use has consolidated. But now there's a new fragmentation. There’s a whole bunch of new stablecoins being created, and this is becoming really difficult for people building on blockchains to work with. What we’re really doing here is becoming a stablecoin clearing house. That allows you, as a builder, not to have to worry about what the underlying stablecoin is, what chain it’s on, and just to know that you can instantly swap it for all of the other ones."

Will Harborne, Co-Founder and CEO of Rhino.fi.

The companies involved

Rhino.fi is a decentralized finance platform focused on providing cross-chain infrastructure for businesses and individual users. By positioning itself as a "stablecoin clearing house," the company aims to bridge the gap between various blockchain ecosystems that have become increasingly siloed by their preferred assets. The platform’s recent expansion is particularly notable for its inclusion of institutional and yield-bearing assets.

Among the supported assets is EURCV, a euro-denominated stablecoin issued by the major French financial services group Société Générale. The platform also integrates with newer consortia-led assets like USDG, the native stablecoin of the Global Dollar Network. This network, which includes over 130 partners, operates on a model that returns reserve yield to its participants. Similarly, the Open USD consortium offers reserve income to its partners, representing a shift away from the traditional models of USDT and USDC where the issuer retains all interest income. These new entrants, such as Robinhood Chain’s USDG, are challenging the dominance of established players by incentivizing network participants through yield-sharing agreements.

What FF News has reported before

FF News has closely tracked the evolution of the stablecoin and enterprise treasury landscape. We recently covered how Noah Integrates Global Dollar Network to Launch Reward-Bearing Enterprise Treasuries, highlighting the shift toward yield-sharing assets like USDG. In the broader fintech space, we reported on Embat Launches Global Banking Product and Appoints Pleo’s Álvaro Dexeus to Lead Expansion, as well as significant market moves such as when BBVA Acquires Full Control of Altura Markets to Scale Global Derivatives and Clearing Services and eToro Posts 77% Net Income Surge in Q2 2026 and Announces TradeZero Acquisition.

What this means

This move by Rhino.fi signals a critical shift in the "stablecoin wars." For years, USDC and USDT held a functional duopoly because they were the only assets with deep liquidity and broad exchange support. However, the rise of yield-bearing tokens like USDG and institutional offerings like Société Générale’s EURCV has created a fragmented market where businesses can no longer dictate a single payment asset without losing customers. By absorbing the complexity of cross-asset and cross-chain settlement, Rhino.fi is putting pressure on traditional payment gateways that have been slow to adopt anything beyond the top two stablecoins. The next phase to watch will be the integration of regional assets like yen or dirham-linked tokens, which could further marginalize traditional FX providers.
