Avalanche has launched the Payments Collective, a new initiative uniting 28 organizations including Franklin Templeton, VanEck, and Paxos, to create a comprehensive crypto payments ecosystem. Covering over 150 countries and 96 currencies, the collective aims to support cross-border payments, stablecoin issuance, and merchant acceptance.
