Where stablecoins actually work in real business
This report synthesizes desk observations from registry reviews: which acceptance patterns repeat, where documentation outpaces product, and how operators describe settlement risk in practice.
Acceptance is uneven by corridor
USDC-heavy flows cluster around digital goods, remote payouts, and cross-border B2B where banking is thin. Card-first markets still dominate consumer checkout.
Documentation quality predicts fewer surprises
Providers with clear network matrices and fee tables see faster verification. Vague omnibus language triggers watchlist until clarified.
Operators care about receipts, not slogans
Finance teams ask for export formats, memo behavior, and how refunds propagate. Marketing copy rarely answers those questions.
