Paris, July 8, 2026 - Melanion Digital has integrated Fipto's payment infrastructure to support subscriptions in stablecoins for its Luxembourg-domiciled Sigma Market Neutral Fund.
As stablecoins become increasingly integrated into institutional finance, they are being used not only as a means of transferring value, but also as an efficient way to deploy capital. Supporting subscriptions in stablecoins, starting with USDC, requires robust payment infrastructure, transaction monitoring, reconciliation and audit-ready reporting.
Through Fipto's institutional-grade payment infrastructure, stablecoin settlement is now supported for subscriptions to Melanion Digital's Sigma Market Neutral Fund, starting with USDC, through:
This implementation represents another step toward connecting stablecoin liquidity with institutional investment infrastructure, illustrating how blockchain-native payment rails can support the operational standards expected in regulated asset management.
"As the use of stablecoins continues to grow across institutional markets, it was important for us to provide an institutional solution that responds to these evolving needs. Until now, subscribing often meant converting stablecoins into euros or dollars before investing, adding unnecessary cost and operational friction. By working with Fipto, we can now support direct stablecoin settlement for subscriptions through an institutional-grade payment infrastructure. We believe this is an important step toward making stablecoin settlement more efficient within institutional asset management." Cyril Sabbagh, President of Melanion Digital
"Institutional adoption of stablecoins depends on payment infrastructure that meets the operational standards expected by regulated financial institutions. Working with Melanion Digital on this implementation demonstrates how dedicated stablecoin payment rails can simplify fund subscription workflows while preserving robust operational controls." Patrick Mollard, CEO of Fipto
For asset managers, fund administrators and fintech companies exploring stablecoin payment workflows, this implementation illustrates how dedicated payment infrastructure can bridge digital assets and institutional fund operations.
Fipto is Europe's first stablecoin payment infrastructure to combine a Payment Institution licence (ACPR, France) with a MiCA CASP licence (AMF, France), both in a Tier-1 EU jurisdiction, providing institutional partners such as Melanion Digital with a regulated foundation for stablecoin settlement.
