Institutional infrastructure for stablecoin treasury, trading, and liquidity. Powering digital asset platforms globally since 2013.

[Alphapoint @AlphaPointLive]

For more than a decade, we've helped power digital asset markets globally.

Today, institutions increasingly view digital assets as infrastructure for capital movement, settlement, and programmable finance.

To reflect that shift, we’re launching the new Alphapoint brand and website.

Before a single stablecoin moves, one question decides everything: who approved it, and can you prove it later?

Roughly 35% of US small businesses were already using crypto for B2B transactions in 2025.

And crypto invoice settlements rose about 50% year-over-year, especially in technology and logistics, where cross-border friction bites hardest.

This is the quiet shift: stablecoins are becoming a settlement layer for suppliers, contractors, and corporate treasury teams operating across multiple currencies and jurisdictions, avoiding FX conversion costs and multi-day clearing windows in a single step.

The economics behind the move:
— Stablecoin settlement runs 0.05–1% and clears in minutes, compared to 2.5% to 3.5% with traditional card transactions that take 2 to 5 business days.
— Dollar-pegged stablecoins now compared to 2.5% to 3.5% with traditional card transactions that take 2 to 5 business days.
— Regulatory frameworks are adapting, with the GENIUS Act in the US and MiCA in the EU in progress.

If your operation runs vendor payments, supplier disbursements, or cross-border payroll, stablecoin settlement is one of the highest-ROI places to start.

We outlined the operational path in the full blog post and how Alphapoint helps institutions build the settlement infrastructure underneath it: https://t.co/uQeVBclDoe

A defining month for institutional stablecoin infrastructure.

In this edition of Alphapoint's Stablecoin Treasury Brief:

→ Transaction volume reached an ATH of $1.79 trillion in June, up 63% from May, despite a contraction in supply.
→ Circle secured OCC approval for a national trust.
→ @Visa launched its Stablecoin Platform.
→ @The_DTCC ran its first live tokenized securities trades against $114 trillion in custody.
→ And MiCA narrowed the EU market from over 3,000 firms to 243 authorized CASPs.

Every cross-border invoice your institution settles on legacy rails costs 2–5% and takes 2–5 business days to clear.

This is more than just an accounts-payable challenge, it's a treasury priority.

Stablecoin invoicing collapses both, settling in seconds at a fraction of the cost, and the volume proving it out is no longer speculative:
— Stablecoin transfer volume hit $27.6 trillion in 2024, surpassing Visa and Mastercard combined (@chainalysis )
— The total market capitalization of leading stablecoins has now exceeded $220 billion (@DefiLlama )
— 54% of non-adopters at financial institutions expect to implement stablecoin solutions in the next 6–12 months (EY-Parthenon)

For treasury teams, the advantage goes beyond cost: real-time reconciliation, immutable on-chain audit trails, and compliance screening embedded in the payment flow instead of bolted on after.

63% of enterprises want to run stablecoin capabilities through their existing bank rather than a fintech competitor.

That's the treasury opportunity most institutions are underreading. Clients want stablecoin solutions within their current banking relationships. If you don’t provide these services, your competitors will.

The demand for stablecoins is rising:
— Only 13% of companies use stablecoins today, but over 50% of non-users plan to adopt them in the next 6–12 months, mainly for cross-border transactions (EY, 350 companies)
— B2B stablecoin volume grew 733% year-over-year to approximately $226 billion in 2025 (McKinsey/Artemis)
— The GENIUS Act (July 2025) now lets insured banks issue payment stablecoins through subsidiaries
— Stablecoin supply is expected to reach $3 trillion by 2030 (US Treasury)

Meeting that demand means treasury-grade infrastructure, mass disbursements, beneficiary management, reconciliation, and approval workflows built to the standard regulators expect.

The G20 set a target: 75% of cross-border payments credited within one hour.

As of 2025, only 35% meet this standard (BIS).

Rather than seeing improvement, we are witnessing a decline in correspondent banking relationships, which centralizes flows through fewer intermediaries, driving costs higher. The global average cost of sending $200 is 6.5% in Q1 2025, with remittances to sub-Saharan Africa at 7.7%.

Stablecoin rails settle in minutes at a fraction of the cost. Key statistics include:
— $390 billion in genuine stablecoin payment activity in 2025, roughly double 2024 (@McKinsey /@artemis)
— B2B payments hit ~$226 billion, growing 733% year-over-year
— Stablecoin supply passed $300 billion, up from under $30 billion in 2020
— Unique stablecoin wallets grew from 350 million in 2023 to over 500 million by Q3 2025

For regional banks and PSPs, the focus has shifted from whether stablecoins should be integrated into cross-border infrastructure to how quickly they can be implemented.

The global cross-border payments market moved $190 trillion in 2023.

However, a significant portion of the supporting infrastructure remains rooted in technology from the 1970s.

SWIFT wires still take 3–5 business days, and correspondent bank fees can eat up 2–7% of each transaction. Hidden FX markups often leave funds short. For CFOs and treasury teams, this inefficiency is unacceptable, especially as alternatives gain traction.

Key data points reveal the shift:

— Expected stablecoin payment activity is projected to be $390 billion in 2025, more than double that of 2024 (@McKinsey /@artemis)
— B2B transactions surged 733% year-over-year, now making up about 60% of all stablecoin payment volume
— Stablecoin rails settle in under 3 minutes, 24/7, with all-in costs of 0.1–0.5% compared to 2–7% on SWIFT
— 56% of financial institutions expect 5–10% of cross-border value to run on stablecoins by 2030
— $2.1–4.2 trillion annually Real businesses, from Singapore ship brokers to Latin American payroll processors, are quietly replacing SWIFT and winning.

B2B stablecoin payments went from under $100 million a month in early 2023 to over $6 billion a month by mid-2025.

That's a 60x increase in under three years.

Most regional banks and PSPs are still running playbooks built for SWIFT and ACH. That gap, between where the volume is going and where institutional infrastructure sits, is exactly where competitive advantage is being won or lost right now.

The data behind the urgency:
— Actual stablecoin payment volume hit $390 billion annually, doubling year-over-year (@McKinsey/@artemis, Feb 2026).
— B2B payments grew 733% year-over-year in 2025, driven by cross-border supplier payments, treasury, and payroll.
— Market cap passed $300 billion in October 2025, up from under $30 billion in 2020.
— @Visa's stablecoin settlement hit a $4.5 billion annualized run rate by January 2026.

The question isn't whether to integrate stablecoins, but rather which architecture fits your institution and how fast you can execute.

We broke down the three integration methods, what the GENIUS Act requires, and how AlphaPoint helps banks go live without replatforming: https://t.co/OhvLzXYdhQ

[Alphapoint @AlphaPointLive]

In 2024, stablecoins processed $27.6 trillion in transfer volume, surpassing @Visa and @Mastercard combined by 7.68%.

And it wasn't a one-chain story. The stablecoin market spans multiple platforms: Ethereum, Tron, Solana, Base, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, Polygon, and Avalanche. No single network exceeds 55% of the total supply.

This fragmentation creates an infrastructure challenge. Building on one chain limits access to liquidity and counterparties on others, while managing multiple chains increases compliance complexities and operational overhead.

The volume backs up the urgency: by 2025, @McKinsey predicts payment-specific stablecoin volume will reach $390 billion, more than double the previous year, with B2B transactions at $226 billion.

The question for banks and PSPs isn't which chain to pick. It's how to run all of them from a single, unified layer: one compliance engine, one settlement view, one integration.

September 2025 marked a groundbreaking moment, as stablecoin transaction volume surged past $1 trillion in just one month.
That's not a milestone for crypto, that's clear evidence that stablecoin rails are payment infrastructure now.

At the forefront of this transformation is USDC:

▪️With a robust $74 billion market cap, it commands ▪️25% of the global stablecoin market
▪️78% circulation growth year-over-year in 2025
▪️27% of all stablecoin trading volume in early 2025
▪️$3.5 billion annualized run rate on Visa's USDC settlement program by November 2025
▪️Circle Mint supports institutional redemption in 185+ countries

The operational case is equally concrete: USDC settles cross-border payments in seconds at sub-$0.01 fees on Solana, versus 2–5 days and 2–7% fees on SWIFT corridors.

The B2B payments industry spent years saying stablecoins weren't ready for enterprise use.

@zeebuofficial just settled 99,000 invoices across 139 telecom carriers. Deel launched stablecoin payouts in 69+ countries. Scale AI is paying overseas contractors in stablecoins to eliminate local currency risk.

The proof-of-concept phase is over.

What's actually driving adoption:
— B2B cross-border payments account for approximately $226 billion: roughly 60% of all real stablecoin payment volume
— 41% of current users already report cost savings of over 10% (@EY_Parthenon )
— Active stablecoin wallets grew 53% year-over-year, rising from 19.6 million to over 30 million.
— Market cap has surpassed $300 billion

In 2024, stablecoin transaction volume skyrocketed, surpassing the combined volume of Visa and Mastercard by 7.68%.

What does this mean for institutional treasury operations?
→ Traditional cross-border wires take 3–5 business days and cost 2–7% per transaction. Stablecoin settlement completes in under 3 minutes, 24/7, for a fraction of a cent in network fees.
→ Even after on-ramp and off-ramp conversion costs, businesses report reducing cross-border payment expenses by 50–70%.
→ B2B payments now represent roughly 60% of actual stablecoin commerce volume, which equates to about $226 billion.
→ Treasury functions, such as supplier payments, intercompany transfers, mass disbursements, and contractor payouts, are now utilizing blockchain technology.

B2B payments now make up about 60% of real stablecoin commerce volume, totaling approximately $226 billion. This includes supplier payments, treasury transfers, and contractor payouts, all of which utilize blockchain technology.

For institutions ready to operationalize, AlphaPoint Treasury offers multi-chain stablecoin management and embedded compliance at an institutional scale.
