Katana L2 Chain Launches with Polygon CDK and Agglayer Integration

Rhino has integrated with Hurupay to streamline global payment infrastructure through faster stablecoin withdrawals. The partnership enables users to convert USDC on Base to USDT on BNB Chain, providing instant access to funds. **Key features of the integration:** - Solves real user problem: faster withdrawal times for global payments - Supports cross-chain flow from USDC (Base) to USDT (BNB Chain) - Enables instant fund access for Hurupay users This follows Rhino's recent partnerships with Fin and Inflowpay, where they've been building cross-chain stablecoin infrastructure across 30+ chains with ~30-second settlement times. The company focuses on making payment infrastructure invisible while supporting high-value transactions and flexible fee structures. Rhino's approach centers on solving practical payment challenges rather than adding complexity. For payment companies, this means less manual treasury rebalancing and more reliable cross-border flows. [Learn more about Rhino's payment infrastructure](https://rhino.fi/contact)
