The proof-of-concept leveraged PYUSD and USDC rails, demonstrating how digital assets can optimize traditional institutional settlements.
March 9, 2026

Global insurance broker AON, which advises on $5 trillion in assets, has successfully completed a proof-of-concept to settle institutional insurance premiums using stablecoins.
In collaboration with Coinbase and Paxos, the firm processed institutional payments utilizing PayPal USD (PYUSD) on the Solana blockchain and USD Coin (USDC) on the Ethereum network. The pilot program marks the first known instance of a major broker accepting stablecoins for premium settlements, moving digital asset utility deeper into traditional corporate finance. Tim Fletcher, CEO of Aon's financial services group, emphasized that the institutional-grade infrastructure significantly improves the speed and transparency of underlying financial operations.
This successful deployment signals a critical step toward broader market adoption as traditional financial institutions increasingly utilize blockchain rails to optimize complex B2B transactions.
