Could stablecoins make paying across borders as simple as sending a message?
Citigroup and Coinbase are working together on a service that would let some Citi business clients accept stablecoin payments. Coinbase would handle the digital-asset conversion, while Citi would manage settlement. Citi is also expanding its own blockchain-based payment services for multinational companies.
The opportunity is faster, more flexible payment rails. But adoption will depend on practical details: fees, local regulations, reliable conversion and how easily businesses can move funds back into traditional currencies.
Stablecoins may be finding a role beyond crypto trading, as payment tools for businesses. The key question is whether they can make cross-border payments meaningfully simpler and cheaper.
Would you use $USDC or $USDT to pay a business if the process felt as simple as a card payment? What would you want to check first?
