Klarna Partners With Coinbase to Raise Institutional Funding via USDC

Swedish fintech giant Klarna has partnered with Coinbase to integrate stablecoins into its institutional funding strategy. Under the collaboration, Klarna plans to raise short-term funding denominated in USDC from institutional investors using Coinbase’s crypto-native infrastructure.

The move marks Klarna’s first major step into blockchain-based capital markets, as the company explores stablecoins for treasury and liquidity management. CFO Niclas Neglén said stablecoins offer access to a new class of investors while enabling funding diversification beyond traditional channels.

The initiative highlights growing interest among major fintech firms in using stablecoins as a bridge between traditional finance and digital asset markets.
