Zeebu has officially crossed a major milestone: more than $10 billion USD in total settlement volume has now been processed through the protocol. This achievement validates Zeebu’s mission to become the on-chain alternative to legacy financial rails such as SWIFT, Visa, PayPal, and Stripe - enabling instant, FX-free, programmable settlement for global B2B commerce.
Why This Milestone Matters
For decades, cross-border B2B payments have relied on slow, expensive, and opaque systems. Bank wires can take 3–5 days to clear. FX spreads eat into margins. And reconciliation across multiple intermediaries creates costly inefficiencies.
Zeebu solves these pain points by providing a decentralized settlement protocol where:
- Transactions settle instantly, not in days.
- FX-free conversions eliminate hidden spreads.
- On-chain clearing ensures transparency and auditability.
- Programmable mechanics allow new products to be built directly on the settlement layer.
Crossing the $10 billion milestone is not just a number - it is proof that enterprise adoption of on-chain settlement is already underway at scale.
Key Metrics
- $10,000,000,000+ total settled volume across the Zeebu network
- 142 merchants live on Zeebu PSP
- 300+ additional merchants waitlisted for onboarding
- Settlement v2 live, embedding programmable clearing and routing logic
- veZBU governance operational, aligning capacity with protocol economics
How Zeebu Works
At the core of Zeebu’s design is a protocol-first settlement system.
- Merchants initiate settlement flows through PSPs connected to Zeebu.
- On-Chain Clearing Houses (OCHs) bid competitively to process those flows, drawing on delegated liquidity capacity.
- Final settlement is delivered in stable assets such as USDT, USDC, or 0xUSD.
- Fees are programmatically distributed to OCHs, liquidity providers, and veZBU stakers, aligning incentives across participants.
Regulatory Alignment: Built for the Genius Act Era
Global regulators are converging on frameworks that emphasize non-custodial, overcollateralized, transparent stablecoin systems. In the U.S., the Genius Act is setting the standard for compliant stablecoin adoption.
Zeebu’s architecture is already aligned with these requirements:
- Non-custodial settlement with on-chain execution
- Overcollateralized guarantees for stability
- Transparent, auditable flows for reporting and oversight
This makes Zeebu one of the few live systems structurally ready for large-scale institutional onboarding as policy momentum accelerates.
$ZBU: The Token Powering Zeebu
At the center of the protocol is $ZBU, the token that aligns incentives and governance across the network.
- Governance: Staked into veZBU, granting voting rights and capacity to On-Chain Clearing Houses.
- Incentives: Transaction fees are shared with veZBU stakers, OCH operators, and liquidity providers.
- Scarcity: Every settlement contributes to ZBU’s burn-and-mint mechanics, reinforcing its role as the driver of network economics.
As settlement volume scales, $ZBU becomes increasingly central to both governance and value capture within the protocol.
Looking Ahead
The $10 billion milestone is a signal of what’s possible when programmable finance meets enterprise-grade settlement demand. But it is only the beginning.
Over the coming quarters, Zeebu is focused on:
- Expanding integrations with new merchants, PSPs, and industry verticals beyond telecom.
- Scaling throughput by growing the network of OCHs and liquidity partners.
- Driving compliance leadership as the Genius Act framework and other global standards evolve.
- Continuing to align value capture with $ZBU stakers, liquidity providers, and governance participants.
Conclusion
Global B2B payments are entering a new era. Legacy systems built on intermediaries and reconciliation are giving way to programmable, on-chain clearing that is instant, FX-free, and transparent.
By surpassing $10 billion in total settled volume, Zeebu has proven that this transformation is already underway. With its architecture, governance, and regulatory alignment, Zeebu - and the $ZBU token that powers it - are positioned to become the default settlement layer for the internet’s value flows.
