The Case for Stablecoin Settlement
Traditional Settlement is Broken
- Slow: 3-5 business days for international wires
- Expensive: $25-50 per transaction in correspondent banking fees
- Opaque: Unclear FX rates and intermediary charges
Stablecoins Change the Game
USDC and USDT enable:
- T+0 Settlement: Minutes instead of days
- Low Cost: <$1 per transaction
- Transparency: On-chain visibility
- 24/7 Operations: No banking hours
Who Benefits?
- Marketplaces paying out globally
- Exporters dealing with emerging markets
- Gaming platforms with instant payouts
- Remittance providers
ZenPays Approach
We offer dual-rail settlement: merchants can receive USD via traditional banking OR stablecoins, based on preference.
Best of both worlds.
