What are stablecoins and how do they work for payments?

Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies pegged to dollars (like USDC), used for fast, cheap transfers on blockchains like Ethereum or Solana—settle in seconds, fees under $0.01.

Why are CFOs interested in stablecoins right now?

Rising payment volumes, high wire fees (up to 7%), and pilots proving 24/7 global settlement make them a no-brainer for cash optimization.

Are stablecoins safe for business payments?

Yes, with regulated issuers like Circle (USDC)—audited reserves, insurance. Avoid sketchy ones; stick to top 5 by market cap.
