Stablecoin Minting and Burning

The Developer Portal now includes a use-case guide for Stablecoin that walks you through minting and burning stablecoins using your Go Account. This new section provides end-to-end integration guides for issuing and redeeming fiat-backed stablecoin tokens via the BitGo API.

How It Works

Stablecoins are blockchain-based tokens backed by fiat-denominated collateral, maintaining a 1:1 relationship between circulating tokens and their backing reserves. Using your Go Account, you can hold fiat currency, enabling you to mint and burn stablecoins.

The new guides cover two core operations:

  • Minting converts fiat currency held in a Go Account into newly issued stablecoin tokens. Minted tokens can be issued to your Go Account, a whitelisted Go Account, a whitelisted BitGo wallet, or a whitelisted external wallet.
  • Burning permanently removes stablecoin tokens from circulation in exchange for fiat currency deposited back into your Go Account. Burn orders are typically fulfilled in under two hours.

Both operations use the Stablecoin Order API and require BitGo Express or JavaScript SDK to sign and process transactions. All orders are subject to validation, authorization, and reconciliation controls to ensure token supplies and reserve balances remain aligned.
