Aon is testing with Coinbase and Paxos the use of USDC and PYUSD to pay insurance premiums.

PANews reported on March 9th that, according to CoinDesk, global insurance brokerage giant Aon, in collaboration with Coinbase and Paxos, has completed a proof-of-concept test of stablecoin premium payments, using USDC (Ethereum) and PayPal USD (PYUSD, Solana) to settle insurance premiums. Aon stated that this is the first time a major global insurance brokerage has used stablecoins in premium settlement. Currently, cross-border premium settlements largely rely on bank clearing, which takes several days. This test aims to evaluate the potential advantages of on-chain payments in terms of settlement efficiency, cost, and transparency, and to prepare for the future introduction of stablecoins into the existing financial system, against the backdrop of the US passing the Genius Act, which establishes a federal regulatory framework for stablecoin issuers.
