ZELLE EYES INDIA EXPANSION, PLANS OWN STABLECOIN

Zelle, currently available only in the United States, will enter India as its debut international market. The expansion represents a significant step in growing the payment platform's global footprint. Alongside the geographic expansion, EWS plans to introduce its own stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar. The digital asset would provide users with a blockchain-based alternative for transactions within the platform. The moves come as Zelle faces competition from other payment services and digital currency platforms seeking to capture market share in cross-border transfers and digital payments. India represents a major opportunity, with its large population and growing digital payment adoption. No specific launch date beyond "later in 2026" was provided for either the India expansion or the stablecoin introduction.
