# Request Grid enablement for a stablecoin

`POST /stablecoins/{stablecoinId}/request-grid-enablement`

Ask Lightspark to approve a registered stablecoin as a Grid settlement currency. Grid enablement is a reviewed workflow rather than a self-service switch, so this endpoint only records the request: it moves `gridOperationsStatus` from `NOT_ENABLED` to `PENDING_APPROVAL` and returns the updated stablecoin. Lightspark drives the remaining `ENABLING` and `ENABLED` steps.

The request is idempotent. Repeating it while the stablecoin is already `PENDING_APPROVAL` succeeds and changes nothing. A stablecoin in any other Grid operations status cannot be requested, and returns `409`.

## Response `200`
