The world’s second largest insurance broker is teaming up with the crypto exchange Coinbase and the Paypal USD (PYUSD) issuer Paxos to support stablecoin payments for insurance premiums.
Aon plc says that it successfully demonstrated a proof of concept for insurance premium payment using dollar-backed stablecoins.
The firm says it worked with Coinbase and Paxos to settle premium payments for their respective insurance programs. The transactions were executed across several blockchain networks including USDC on Ethereum and PYUSD on Solana.
Aon’s financial services group CEO Tim Fletcher says the insurance giant is the first mover in accepting stablecoins to settle insurance premiums.
“As tokenized instruments become more widely used, clients need confidence that speed and innovation do not come at the expense of control. By building real-world understanding of stablecoins early, we are strengthening our ability to advise on risk, governance and resilience as digital finance evolves.”
The initiative comes following the passage of the GENIUS Act, which set out a regulatory framework for stablecoin payments in the US. Aon says this development helped support the trial.
“[A]s adoption expands and infrastructure continues to mature, this evolution could enable faster settlement timelines, greater payment efficiency and closer alignment between risk transfer and the movement of capital. Aon’s approach is designed to support client choice across regulated providers aligned to evolving regulatory requirements.”
