Zeebu Replaces Legacy Systems with $10B in On-Chain Settlements

Zeebu, a decentralized settlement protocol, has announced that its platform has surpassed $10 billion in processed transaction volume, marking a significant milestone in the development of blockchain-based financial infrastructure. The achievement highlights a growing trend of institutional interest in programmable payment systems that combine the speed, transparency, and flexibility of decentralized technology with the reliability of traditional finance [1].

The protocol operates as a protocol-first value transport layer, distinct from conventional fintech applications that rely on legacy banking systems for settlement. Zeebu integrates settlement directly into smart contract logic, enabling a seamless and efficient process. Merchants and payment service providers (PSPs) initiate settlement flows, which are then competitively processed by On-Chain Clearing Houses (OCHs). These entities draw liquidity from both decentralized finance (DeFi) pools and professional market makers, enabling faster and more transparent transactions [2].

Adoption metrics indicate a robust trajectory for Zeebu. Over 10 billion dollars in settlements have been processed to date, with 142 merchants currently live across telecom and fintech verticals. Additionally, more than 300 merchants are on the waitlist for future integration. These figures underscore Zeebu’s transition from a conceptual framework to a scalable, functioning solution for institutional use cases requiring global and programmable payment systems [1].

Institutional adoption is being driven by the limitations of traditional payment rails, which suffer from delayed settlement times, high foreign exchange (FX) spreads, opaque compliance processes, and limited interoperability with modern financial tools. Zeebu addresses these inefficiencies by offering instant settlement finality through stablecoin payouts, auditable clearing flows for institutional reporting, and a non-custodial execution model that aligns with evolving regulatory frameworks such as the U.S. GENIUS Act [2].

As policymakers in the U.S. and European Union continue to develop frameworks for stablecoins and digital asset infrastructure, Zeebu is well positioned to meet the demand for compliant yet modern payment solutions. The protocol's use of regulated fiat-backed stablecoins, combined with liquidity safeguards and transparent on-chain operations, ensures it can adapt to global regulatory standards. This strategic alignment places Zeebu among a small number of live systems ready for institutional adoption [1].

The $10 billion settlement milestone is not just a technical achievement but a signal of broader industry transformation. It demonstrates that programmable payments are gaining traction within the institutional mainstream. With hundreds of merchants already integrated and more in the pipeline, Zeebu is emerging as a foundational element of future financial infrastructure, where the convergence of on-chain settlement and institutional-grade standards is accelerating [2].
