03 Jun Bitfinex Pay Transitioning to Estable Pay: What You Need to Know?
The global regulatory landscape for crypto payments is evolving, and we’re making important changes to ensure a stronger, more scalable future for your business. To enhance our payment infrastructure and provide you with an even better experience, Bitfinex Pay will transition into Estable Pay, and the current platform will be decommissioned by Monday, September 15th, 2025.
What to Expect from the Transition?
The transition from Bitfinex Pay to Estable Pay will unlock major improvements, including:
- More Control with Self-Custody: Your payments will now be managed through our trusted licensed collaborators, who will handle fund custody directly.
- Flexible Self-Hosting: Our new model enables collaborators to self-host the payment gateway infrastructure, offering greater control and customisation. This means compliance, AML, and KYC processes can be tailored to match the specific regulations of each jurisdiction.
- Fully White-Label Solution: Enjoy a fully customisable payment ecosystem, including payment infrastructure, merchant dashboard, back office tools, analytics, and more—all under your own brand.
- Stronger Focus on Payment Infrastructure: Moving to Estable allows us to dedicate 100% of our focus to building the best white-label crypto payment solution for merchants. By shifting platform operations to our trusted collaborators, we can accelerate innovation, enhance reliability and payment speed, and deliver a robust, future-ready crypto payment infrastructure.
What Is Estable?
Estable (www.estable.io/) is a new portfolio company of Tether dedicated to building the ultimate crypto financial solutions ecosystem. With Estable, we are expanding beyond payments to provide a comprehensive suite of white label infrastructure that empowers businesses to operate seamlessly in the crypto economy.
Here’s what Estable offers:
- White label wallet infrastructure solutions: Estable provides crypto neo-banking and wallet infrastructure, allowing businesses and financial institutions to integrate crypto-friendly banking services, manage multi-currency accounts, and enable seamless on/off ramps between fiat and digital assets.
- White label crypto payments infrastructure solutions: Our crypto payment solutions offer self-custody, self-hosting, and full white-label customisation, giving businesses complete control over their payment infrastructure while ensuring compliance with local regulations.
- Stablecoin issuance: Estable provides infrastructure to enable collaborators to create and manage local stablecoins, helping businesses and financial institutions offer stable, regulatory-compliant digital currencies.
- Custom KYC & AML: We provide flexible and customisable KYC and AML solutions, allowing businesses to tailor compliance processes based on jurisdictional requirements and risk levels, facilitating regulatory adherence while maintaining user-friendly onboarding.
By integrating all of these services, Estable creates a complete crypto financial infrastructure ecosystem, allowing businesses to operate more efficiently, scale locally and globally, and provide innovative financial solutions tailored to their market.
With this transition, we are setting the foundation for the future of crypto payments and financial services, ensuring that our merchants have the best tools to grow and succeed in this evolving landscape.
We are committed to making this transition as smooth and beneficial as possible. Our team will be reaching out soon with details on how to migrate seamlessly to Estable and take advantage of these upgrades.
What Is the Impact of this Change?
As part of the transition to a next-generation crypto payments infrastructure with Estable.io, we are officially discontinuing the current crypto payment platform. Effective immediately, new merchant registrations and verifications are no longer available.
For existing verified merchants, the core crypto payment services of Bitfinex Pay will remain fully operational until Monday, September 15th, 2025. During this period, all Pro-only features have been unlocked —including advanced white-label customisation and Auto-Convert to FIAT—and are now available to all current merchants.
Bitfinex Pay will continue to provide customer support and resolve any bugs reported by customers until the final decommission date.
Please note that the transition to Estable Pay will not be automatic. Current merchants who wish to continue using crypto payment solutions after the shutdown must either migrate to another provider or apply to check if they qualify for onboarding to Estable Pay.
