Breez Makes It Easier to Turn Stablecoin Payments Into Bitcoin

Have you ever wished you could accept a payment in one type of digital money and receive it in another — without any fuss? A company called Breez just made that possible.

First, some basics. Stablecoins are a type of cryptocurrency (digital money that lives on the internet) designed to always be worth about one US dollar. Examples include USDT and USDC. They sound simple, but they run on many different networks (the digital 'railroads' that move crypto around), and each network often needs its own wallet (an app that stores your crypto). That complexity scares off beginners.

Breez has fixed this. Apps built using its software toolkit can now let people receive stablecoin payments from over 30 different networks — and get the money as Bitcoin or as dollars.

Here's how it works in simple steps:

• The receiver picks which network the sender is using and the amount.
• Breez creates a deposit address (like a digital mailbox for the payment).
• The sender pays from their normal wallet, just like usual.
• A partner service called Flashnet quietly converts the payment behind the scenes.
• The money lands in the receiver's wallet as Bitcoin — or as dollars if they choose.

Importantly, the receiver's wallet is non-custodial, meaning the user fully controls their own money instead of trusting a company to hold it for them.

This is one of several upgrades Breez has rolled out to make crypto apps feel as easy as normal banking apps. Recent additions include:

• Passkey login — signing in without complicated 'seed phrases' (long backup passwords).
• Instant onboarding through Cash App.
• Dollar-denominated balances — so your balance shows in dollars, not confusing crypto units.

Breez also released a demo app called Glow in August to showcase these features.

The bottom line: Breez is trying to remove the technical headaches of crypto, making Bitcoin and stablecoins as simple to use as the everyday apps most people already know.
