The Need for Cross-Chain Payments Infrastructure

Why Cross-Chain Payments Infrastructure is Critical for Businesses and Consumers

Stablecoin payments for retail transactions (between $1 and $10,000) are rapidly growing, with $169B in USDT transfers in November 2024 alone. Payments are scattered across blockchains, with Tron leading at $130B, followed by Binance Smart Chain ($24B) and Ethereum and Solana ($5B each). This fragmentation creates challenges for both businesses and consumers trying to move funds efficiently.

Challenges for Businesses and Consumers:

• For Businesses: Managing liquidity and infrastructure across multiple chains increases operational costs and complexity.
• For Consumers: Moving stablecoins between networks often involves expensive fees, confusing bridges, and delays.

Why Cross-Chain Infrastructure Matters
