For years, businesses asked a simple question: “How do we send money faster and cheaper?”
Today, a different question is taking center stage: “How do we move liquidity more efficiently?”
This may sound like a subtle shift, but it changes the entire way companies think about global finance.
According to the latest EY-Parthenon research, organizations adopting stablecoin-based payment infrastructure are not only looking for faster cross-border payments. Their key priorities are:
Among current users, 41% report cost savings of at least 10%, while cross-border B2B payments remain the primary use case.
At the same time, regulators are also shifting their focus.

International payments. Nothing left in the dark. Few paintings have unsettled and fascinated in equal measure like Kazimir Malevich’s Black […]
Cross-border payments across Africa are being reshaped in real time. And ahead of the Africa Fintech Summit in Kigali, one question moved to the centre of the conversation: not whether stablecoins will play a role in moving money across the continent, but under whose rules they will do it. In a pre-summit discussion, industry leaders […]
